Don't have a real answer to your question, but for CMSImport I've created a custom table and class to map the releation between the UmbracoNode and a custom database key (which can be anything).
I don't see why not; it's just a key between two IDs, and I don't think there are any constraints to ensure those IDs belong to an object type as defined by the Umrbaco ObjectType GUID. Might be an idea to have a new GUID for custom data when defining the RelationType ?
Hi Richard, my reason for asking the question is trying to avoid creating custom tables if the functionality I need already exists in the standard Umbraco install.
Relationship API - Create relationships with id's from custom tables
Is there any reason why the Umbraco Relationship API could not be used to create relationships between umbraco nodes and custom data?
