That would actually be fabulous. I'd be very interested in seeing how you guys worked that out.

Subject: Re: [development] Nodes content within nodes solution developement?

I've done something similar that essentially redirects all comments to a non-forum node to an assigned forum node. Yes, it's a matter of hook_nodeapi, a table to keep track of associations, and hook_link. Post count ( e.g. 1 comment, 2 comments) is already handled by the comment.module once you know the associated forum topic nid.
 
I can send you code snippets if this description is not enough.
