only these 3 files need to be modified :
- rename example-model.context.xml.sample to example-model.context.xml
- you can add for instance this aspect in exampleModel.xml :

<aspect name="cm:validXmlDocument">
           <title>Linkable</title>
           
           <associations>
           <child-association name="cm:xmlDocumentSchema">
             <title>Document link</title>
             <source>
               <mandatory>false</mandatory>
               <many>false</many>
             </source>
             <target>
             <class>cm:content</class>
               <mandatory>false</mandatory>
               <many>true</many>
             </target>
           </child-association>
           </associations>
           
         </aspect>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

- configure the web client for this aspect to appear in the interface by modifying web-client-config-custom.xml :

<config evaluator="aspect-name" condition="cm:validXmlDocument">
        <property-sheet>
            <show-child-association name="cm:xmlDocumentSchema" component-generator="cm:xmlDocumentSchema" display-label="Linked Documents"/>
        </property-sheet>
    </config>
     
    <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Action Wizards">
        <aspects>
           <aspect name="cm:validXmlDocument"/>
        </aspects>
    </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have been able to display a link to an associated document using a template. Linking directly to the document works well, but there is a problem linking to the detail view of the document. Details are in the thread http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=5019

Hope this helps. If you find a solution to the problem in this thread, please post a response.
