Moshe Weitzman's fantastic description of the New York Observer was a real eye-opener for me. In particular, his description of using a CCK node type to build home and channel pages got me to think about how I could use that method in a project I'm about to start.
However, for that idea to work for me I need to put a twist on it.
Moshe describes how a collection of nodereference fields is used to select the nodes that will appear in the home or channel page. What I'd like to do is similar to that, but instead of selecting from nodes, I want to select from stories published on another site.
In other words, I want to be able to select from individual stories that appear in an RSS feed.
I presume this is doable by exposing the output of an aggregator feed to CCK. I've searched through the CCK project pages and forums but I haven't found anyone doing something like this.
Has anyone tried it? Any ideas how to do it?

Good idea
@Martijn: That's a good suggestion now. However, when I posted my question FeedAPI was not yet available.
