1. A computer-implemented method for providing at least one link to at least one resource related to a specified resource comprising:
- receiving a selection of a media resource, wherein the media resource is a distinct, categorizable media object associated with a resource type and stored in a data store;
receiving a matching criteria for defining a relation for association with the selected media resource;
defining the relation based on the received matching criteria;
associating the relation with the selected media resource;
processing the relation to create a relation set including at least one link to at least one related resource satisfying the matching criteria; and
providing for presenting a visual representation of the media resource and a selectable visual representation of the relation for accessing the at least one link included in the relation set.
