Yes, you can, using Custom Associations. You have to define them in an XML configuration file (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Non-Child_Associations) and then expose them on the property sheet (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Displaying_Custom_Metadata#Associations_in_the_Web_Client)

But i think what you mean is letting end-users create ad-hoc relations between documents (any instance of a content type) - that isn't support yet, they have to be formally defined in the content model and then be exposed in the web client.

Perhaps it would be a good idea for 3.0 to have end users create ad-hoc, instant relationships between nodes, with relationship properties e.g. a name property, definition (e.g. docx is-an instance-of webproja, docy requires docz) and thereby creating some network between nodes that can be visualised (a collaborative ontology -  social computing to the max Smiley Wink

Hello,

We are using this version and need to somehow link documents and the liks updated when document is moved…
Is it possible or is there another way?
Thank you.

There you see how to extend your content modell to include associations. You would want a peer2peer assoc.
