[support] A view linking to other views . . .

[Metzler, David]

I've done something close, but it depends on some support for the node
reference field. I don't know for sure if this is possible, but can you
expose the related node as an argument to the view based on related
sermons, and turn on summaries when the argument is not present?  

Does that make sense?

Subject: [support] A view linking to other views . . .

Maybe I'm missing something obvious or thinking about it all wrong, or
maybe 
the functionality doesn't exist and I'll have to do something different,
but 
I'm trying to create a view that has links to another view thats list is

filled from and argument of some type.

I have two custom content types: a sermon and a series of related
sermons. 
What I want is to have three listings (via Views): 1) a list of the X
most 
recent sermons, 2) a list of all the series, and 3) a list of sermons
within 
a specified series. Also, I want to be able to click on the series name
in 
Views listing 1 and 2 and have it bring up the related listing 3. I have
1 
and 2 done easily enough, but I'm having a bit of difficulty coming up
with 
an acceptable solution for 3.

What I have thought of and/or tried so far: I have in the sermon's
content 
type a node reference field to the series it belongs to. However, that
field 
is unavailable in the Views UI. I have tried using arguments and
specifying a 
view as the target, but that's not even an option from with Views. I
have 
tried taxonomy, but the user input is not as clean as I would like for 
potential computer neophyte and/or illiterate users.

Is what I'm trying to accomplish possible? If so, how?

What I'm looking at doing short term is creating individual views for
each 
series, but that is really not what I want to be doing long term, nor do
I 
want to have that as part of the process for a new person to learn.

Thanks for your time and feedback.
