This is the kick start I was looking for ! I remembered seeing this once I surfed to the URL. Using filters is a good solution. I will have to ask which suits the scenario best filters or association. Possibly making it a choice in the administration.

Thanks!

http://drupal.org/node/11988

It basically uses filters to substitute [node:123] with the contents of 
the node.  It also has image-specific code (for Drupal 4.5) that allows 
for manipulation of the rendering:

      [node:123,res="640x480"]
      [node:123,res="original",title="Original version of the picture"]

A coworker wrote a custom UI in my project to insert the node tag 
content from a select list, but others feel comfortable just typing 
these tags in directly. 

This code has not been touched in 20 months.  Feel free to update it to 
Drupal 4.6 or 4.7.
