The method comprises the steps of identifying a base document a plurality of times in a view, each of said plurality of times being associated with a respective use; and for each of those uses, establishing a respective associated reference document. Each of the reference documents stores information specific to the associated use. The method further includes the step of accessing the base document via one of the times the base document is identified in the view. This accessing is done by (i) accessing the one reference document associated with said one of said times, (ii) using that one reference document to access the base document, and (iii) merging and displaying as one document contents of the base document and the use specific information from the one reference document.
