Can someone point to the correct way to do this?

Suppose i'm working in a tumblelog, it's basically , 4 o 5 tipes of
"post item" that share some cmmon information.

So the first approach i would go is:

cllass Post(models.Model):
   here goes common metada of all things that can be "posted" like
taggin , dates, etc

class TextPost(Post)
  This model inherits all the metadata of the "normal" posteable
objects and add some of it's own like

  text = TexField()

also we can provide a ImagePost(Post) with the same characteristics as
textpost,

The caveat folllow:

Inheritance gives me a reference in the "child" model to the pk of the
parent, that's ok.
But i have no way of iterating to Posts elements and instantiating
them osr seeing their attrs without knowing the correct nadme.

Is any correct way to do this? will i have to hack django (or add a
field) that backreferences the reference?

The idea is traverse only the Posts objects instead o N tables (1 for
each kinkd of post)
