Body
The actual use case is similar to a multi-vendor implementation in that the store should display products from many different vendors, but each one only requires it's own landing page (not a problem), and to have some vendor attributes, like address, accessible easily from the products. No back-end interface or access control is required for the individual vendor. Categories with custom attributes would have worked except that then a single vendor could only exist under one category, and not several. How feasible is it to build a new content type into the Magento system to handle this? I'm interested to hear any ideas. Thanks!

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
