Drupal limitation compared to Joomla / Zikula ?

Hello

I am in the process to convert a mmorpg homepage to drupal.

All is going nice so far, but now i think i hit a system limitation of Drupal compared to the "standard class" CMS like Joomla, Zikula and other.

This limitation is related to "bind comments (or other core features) to dynamic pages or external data".

There are some threads related to this topic:

http://drupal.org/node/229157
http://drupal.org/node/204801
http://drupal.org/node/112983

Let me explain what it means:

In short word, when i understand right, drupal is defining "content" as "base type" node. When drupal is loading
up, it calls a row of hooks which calls and binds their core and modules to that content. Content are identified
by its node ID, which is presented usualy by an unique integer. That node content can be defined in nearly any way, but i has to be part of of the drupal data base and must be stored there in the node db part.

Lets call this behaviour "early binding" when it comes to comments, rating or other things you enable (bind) to
content.

Now, here is the problem. Because there is of course other "forms" of content.

For us, as mmorpg, we have a big data base of any kind of content. Items, players, quests... They all are of
course not organized as nodes or any drupal native content and doing it is no option in any way.

So, can drupal manage "non native content"? All what i read about so far only explains how drupal can manage
their native node content.

Other content can of course be many stuff. Like dynamic data. For example, i want a mathematical website,
analyzing a complex function and their behaviour.

Now i creating a module like this:

.../?q=mathe&a=1&b=2&c=3

Module mathe itself is feeding a function like a^2*b^a+c*b (no idea thats senseful, think its the one from the
basic chaos theory ) with a,b and c and then it produce a graphical chart out of the function, some statistics and other interesting stuff.

Lets say this is one of the functions, where 99.9% of the values of a,b and c are uninteresting, but a few make
sense. That we want find, talk about and so on. For the chaos theory we want for the unique values the "runs quick to infinity or not" for example.

Now, we write the module, doing all that presentation stuff related to that URL.

Note, that we don't have stored now ANY content data. But we HAVE content to show. Unique, mathematical content. I did this example to point out we don't have to deal always with a database for the content. The
problem with external content is the same. Think about a site about weather, using and analyzing real time
weather data. The data itself is dynamic, but for example the geographical position is not. Lets say we
feed the URL with geographical information. Its unqiue again but we don't want create for every possible longitute
of the earth a node, or?

The problem is, again, that we don't want or can store the pages as node content. That makes no sense or is physically impossible for some content. But we want bind rating, comments or even forum threads to the unique pages, which are defined by the data query string, which is our unique identifier (or the tag is build out of it OR the module generates for "valid" input a valid hook tag).

To point it out: In nearly every other CMS, that is no problem and you can find out in minutes how to do it.

In Zikula (formerly postnuke) you simply mark a module as "enable the comment hook". Then you
go to the base theme and you feed a smarty tag with the URL as unique identifier for the comment.
Or you bind the comments directly to the module, feed the comments identifaction tags (so comments
knows to which page and/or content it belongs). Thats very powerful, because you can compose for
example out of the url module & tags a more generic tag which then bind a comment thread to different
pages but which are about the same thing, so you use the same comment thread.

Lets name this "late binding" of the comments.

Now, the simple question: Can drupal doing late binding or mimic that behaviour of standard CMS? To non node content?

So far i don't found any positive answer in the forum or the docs. Let me point out that i found it a bit strange, that this standard behaviour of content managment is not described anywhere on first hand for drupal.

One last thing: Please don't get upset when i write about "drupal limitations". I don't flame about drupal. I am aware about that every system have its strength and limits. In its base behaviour drupal it is superior to Joomla and Zikula, i can ensure it and thats the reason why i want move our webpage to drupal.
