Building a site one of the most important things is ease of creating links from one place to another on the site and (as you have found) there isn't an easy/obvious way to do this is Drupal.
One way is right there in core. Turn on the path module so your pages can have intuitive URLs. Create your pages giving them aliases. Add links to those pages in a menu. Activate that menu's block on your page. Done.
I don't want the links in a menu. OK, the main structure of the site is reflected in the menu but very often one wants to put a link to somewhere else on the site in the body of some text somewhere. The menus would rapidly become unmanageable if you put a lot of links in them.
As I said just before the *total* separation of structure and content breaks some of the point of web pages to my mind. Simple, non navigational, links need to be embedded in the actual text, that's what HTML/web is for.
I'm beginning to think that something wiki like is going to work better for us, even though we don't need the co-operative aspects of a wiki.
