How do I associate one piece of content with another

I have two folders, one full of images and another full of text files.How do I add a property to the text file that allows the user to pick an item from the image folder? (I know how to add basic properties like numbers and dates using aspects.)I already tried these, but Share renders them as read-o

Define an aspect. Maybe you'd call it "sc:relatedImage" or something where "sc:" is the abbreviation for your company's namespace.

Within the aspect, define an association. The association will relate your source object to the target image objects.

Here is a simple example from my custom content types tutorial:


<type name="sc:doc">
   <title>Someco Document</title>
   <parent>cm:content</parent>
   <associations>
      <association name="sc:relatedDocuments">
         <title>Related Documents</title>
         <source>
            <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            <many>true</many>
         </source>
         <target>
            <class>sc:doc</class>
            <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            <many>true</many>
         </target>
      </association>
   </associations>
   <mandatory-aspects>
     <aspect>cm:generalclassifiable</aspect>
   </mandatory-aspects>
</type>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This example defines an association on a type, but it works exactly the same for aspects. In this case, the association lets you track one or more "related" documents.

When Share renders this association in a form, it should do so as an object picker.
