Share document between two workspaces

Is it possible to have one document in two workspaces? Not a copy but the same document (like a Unix link or a JCR reference). How is it performed using the web client?

This is something I'd be very interested in also.
E.g. in the Cloud Trial site, a document within the Budget folder could also be visible within Project Documents (but perhaps only read-only…)

I haven't found out whether it's possible yet.

This is what I've looked at so far:
- dynamic folders seems to be what we're looking for but it's not implemented
- I tried looking at ways to create Links (i.e. symbolic links, or "shortcuts") to documents from secondary folders, but I haven't found the way to do so (at least not in the Cloud Trial, someone seems to mention some 'paste as link' or 'copy as link' functionality but that might be in another version…?)
- you can create (peer) associations between documents (which is simplified by creating a custom content model that contain these associations) and some kind of workaround to the request could possibly be done with this mechanism.

I'd be grateful for any input on this requirement.
