In your scenario, the entire concept of "logical links" would vanish (no item has a true parent, therefore having two "children", two "parents", a single "parent" and a "child" are all situations where an item has at least 2 links...
I simply do not see how you can have both relational models (the hierarchical model that Ultra Recall currently uses, and the all-links-are-equal model used by "Mind Map") in the same application...
One idea that has been mentioned before is to allow existing (or perhaps even new) Info Items as values of Attributes. Maybe this could be extended to show the owner of an Info Item (as an attribute) as a "virtual child" of the owned Info Item.
Something like:
+ My Data
--+ Contacts
----+ John Doe
-------* //somehow indicate the "owning" Project1 Info Item here
--+ Projects
----+ Project1 (with a Manager attribute of <John Doe>)
At this point this is simply a theoretical discussion (no promises are being made about feasibility or implementation) but we are interested in user opinions and ideas. If this concept (or others) can be honed into something practical, generally useful, and intuitive we are certainly interested in implementing them...
