[Zope] Yahoo-like link design

Having worked through the ZClasses tutorial and howto examples,
I now have a design question. Being very inexperienced with Zope,
I would like to create a catalog of links that automatically
updates itself when new links are added. I suppose the best
way to do this is to inherit from CatalogAware and ZObjectManager.
CatalogAware (as I understand it) allows me to automatically
update itself and ZObjectManager allows me to embedd sub-links.
Then I can add a search interface to find links.
My Links tree would look something like:
/Links
+ History
+ US History
+ European History
+ Languages
+ Dutch
+ English
Does this sound like a reasonable way to keep a database
of links? Does anyone have better suggestions? I prefer
not to store them in an external DB (since I'm learning
Zope). One other thought, instead of ZObjectManager perhaps
I should inherit from Folder?
Thanks,
John
