Perhaps it would be a good idea to implement a trackback feature in OpenGuides? I think I RT'd an enhancement ticket about this, but feel free to add it if I didn't, since I don't have my login details handy at the moment.
Just to clarify, what exactly is a "trackback"? I'm not entirely clear what the difference between a "trackback" and a "link" is.
It's like a link, only automatic. So J Random Blogger links to Node X in his blog entry, and his blog software does some magic, and the OpenGuide is informed that there's a link to Node X from Entry Y. It's often used for the "last 5 pages linking to this page" type stuff, and is a useful way (modulo spam) of improving linkiness.
