Linking Custom Post Types in Wordpress?

Question

I have three Custom Post Types in Wordpress: artists, writers, stories

Is it possible to "link" the posts? For example, if a story is written by a writer and illustrated by an artist, I would like to show in the story page a picture of the writer (linked to the writer's page) and other stories illustrated by the artist.

Answer 1

You probably want a custom single page template.

Adding a new template for those post types is easy. You can add a new template for each post type, like "single-artist.php" in which you put together the page to display the artist info. On the "single-story.php" you can arrange it so that the appropriate links are added where necessary.
