[support] Node reference options guidance

Hello all, I'm sure someone has already figured this out, but I feel I've
done the due dilligence on my own and am now reaching out for help.

I have created 3 content types with all the relevant fields....

Band
Show
Venue

For my show content type I want to give the ability for the user to enter
names of bands and the names of venue the show is at. The node reference
field type works great when the venue or band already exists , but when it
doesn't that field isn't even saved. So we get a show with no venue and no
bands if they do not exist in their respective content types.


Ideally I would like to have the reference potentially resolved to a node at
view time rather than save time, but I haven't managed to find any CCK
documentation that would give me any direction on how to do this without
completely overriding the template for that node type.

Does anyone have any experience in doing something similar? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
