It sounds like you want to create an association between two objects if and only if the property on one of the objects has a certain value. You can do this on an ad hoc basis by writing a script that performs a search for documents with the property value, then creates the association if it does not exist.

If you want to do this every time a document is created, you can write a behavior to check the property value, then create the association.

It would be far more instructive for you to give it a shot and then report back if you get stuck.

To get you started, here is a JavaScript snippet that does a search:

var query = "+TYPE:\"cm:folder\" +@cm\\:name:\"" + PARENT_FOLDER_NAME + "\"";
var results = search.luceneSearch(query);
if (results.length != 1) {
       logger.log("Expected to find exactly one folder named " + PARENT_FOLDER_NAME + " but instead found " + results.length);
       return;
}

You may also want to install the JavaScript console. It can be used as a nice little JavaScript testing Ui directly within Alfresco Share:
