Well in fact it is VERY easy to do in the ZODB. My mxmRelations product 
does exactly this.

Only, a product like that should be in the core.

More can be read here:

It has the disatvantage of not scaling very well, though it works nicely 
for most "normal" sized websites. But I will rewrite it at some time.

It's currently at ver. 0.2, but I am using 0.3 in production right now 
that has a few added features.
