34. Generic relations
|
|
|
|
Generic relations let an object have a foreign key to any object through a
|
|
content-type/object-id field. A ``GenericForeignKey`` field can point to any
|
|
object, be it animal, vegetable, or mineral.
|
|
|
|
The canonical example is tags (although this example implementation is *far*
|
|
from complete).
