Relating objects

Hello,

I am trying to set up the following data structure:

- there are articles and projects (main classes)
- articles can be related, i.e. connected
- projects can be related to articles
- one article can be related to several projects
- one project can be related to several articles

How should I set this up. I could try to use
- node connections (doesn't seem right) or
- the related objects feature.

The problem with the latter seems to me that the relation is only one way, i.e. if I relate one article to the other, only one article contains the related other article in the edit display.

Edit: If I click on an article, I want to be able to see all directly related articles and all directly related projects. And I don't really want to perform two "related objects" actions to make the connection two-way.

Any ideas or suggestions how I can handle this?

I would appreciate if someone experienced could have a quick look at this. Thanks.
