Hi Justin, Our current setup, is we are using webmachine; Client connects to webmachine, and webmachine connects to riak via the erlang pcb client. So, if we use links, and we want the client to be aware of the relationships, we would still have to translate the links into the http response from webmachine back to the client; or am I missing something?
