Hrm, I used to be able to find references to it using google -- but now I
can't find it.
Looks like it's time for me to write it up again.
The brief summary (for advanced user's that will understand my short-hand):
1. Add a "ParentID" field to the child pubtype using the DD List property
2. Populate that list using xarModAPIFunc('articles','user','dropdownlist',
array('ptid'=>9)), where '9' is the pubtype id of the parent
3. In the display template of child, use the articles api function for
generating a link to the parent article
4. In the display template of the parent, use DD's getitems() function to
get a list of the children, and then use xarModURL() to build links to them.
I'll try to find another copy of my easier to understand steps and post it,
or post a URL to someone elses copy of it.
