Interesting. Could this be a mix of the categories package and some cataloging package to browse through "objects" in each category?

I'm working on a catalog package[1] (key: online-catalog) that might be similar in function:

"Catalog package provides the browsing part of a traditional ecommerce service. Emphasis on presentation and search engine optimization. Shopping basket functions are separate. Includes ability to choose item(s) using a specifications configurator."

Essentially one can browse a category tree, viewing items in each category. The ecommerce stuff would just be an "infobutton" to the shopping basket functionality (which will be in a package called accounts-recievables). The infobutton could just as easly link to something else...
