Hello
I have a few 100 articles (content type: Page). I also have a list of taxonomy terms, using the taxonomy module. Each taxonomy term found in the articles, should become a link to a pre-defined article, using tags or any other system there is to link a term to an article.
I am now using the Glossary module, but the link created is either to the glossary page, or either to the taxonomy page, where in the latter you get a list of pages tagged with the term you just clicked on. Since I want a taxonomy term to be used as tag only once, on one and only one article, it would be better to create a direct link to the article, instead of going through the taxonomy page.
I was thinking of modifying the glossary module. But I'd rather have an easier way, since my PHP knowledge is pretty poor.
Basicly, it is just cross referencing the articles using taxonomy terms and I would think there would be already a way to do that. But the search on 'cross reference' did not give me much.
Thank you
Benjamin

You should probably look at
You should probably look at cck and the node-reference field type. http://drupal.org/project/cck
A taxonomy term is not really meant to be used as a unique identifier for a page, as it really is about grouping content. You will encounter a lot of unwanted side effects (such as the taxonomy pages you have mentioned).
Well, I am in the first place
Well, I am in the first place using taxonomy terms so I have a way (Glossary filter) to filter out taxonomy terms in content, and create a link for each term.
About CCK node reference field. I have tried it, but it just creates one field (link) per page. I don't see how it can help me.
Maybe I should state my goals more clearly. On one hand I have articles, on the other hand I have a list of words. The words occur in the articles, and when you click on them, the user should be directed to another article, which contains information about the word he just clicked on.
