Crosslinking productions / Displaying sid years.

Sometimes it would be handy if you could crosslink one demo with another, for example if one demo refers to another one ("i broke the old record in demo x"), or if graphics or copied or payed hommage to.
Had the idea while adding the GameOverview sids, and the intro is a copy (homage? :-)) of an Onslaught intro. Would be nice if you could link stuff like that with the option to leave a little comment.

Another thing that came to my mind would be to display the year of the sids in brackets. That would greatly simplify things in cases where you'd find a tune assigned to 1990 in a 1988 demo, so we could fix the year in the sid. Probably a bit HVSC specific, but it's a minor thing that wouldn't bother anyone, I think, and just a tiny code change in the release page.

One solution would be to introduce.... TAGS!

That said, cross referencing is already possible in diskmags, where you can point to events that are mentioned in the mag.
So this principle could be stretched a little bit to make it work in a broader perspective.

Exactly what I'm trying to say, Mace, it's basically just an extension of what's already there.
