We are using the CCK nodereference module on several page types on our site. This means that when someone wants to add an image or other media file to a page, they type the Node ID, or the beginning of the node title, into an appropriate field. Then, using what I have always assumed was JavaScript, the module either digs up the relevant image, or a list of potential images from which the correct image can be double-clicked and inserted.
How do we enable this behavior if we are using Islandora? Do we create faux media nodes? How are Fedora media assets best integrated with actual pages?
Alternatively, am I misunderstanding what Islandora is doing? Is there something in the Islandora ingest process that already creates a faux node, so that one can either address an object using the Fedora PID and appropriate URL; or, can reference it from within Drupal using a Drupal node ID?
