I was wondering if lightbox2 could open another page and automatically lightbox a selected piece of content? For example, take a teaser link that you have placed on the home page via a view, when the user clicks that link it takes them to the containing page and opens the lightbox version of the page. If they close the lightbox, they're not on the homepage anymore but on the page containing the rest of the stories with the same content type. That way you can use lightbox to take people from the homepage of your site to other sections in a way that is graceful and encourages exploration.
