Ideas on interconnecting objects? (was: "filtered view" upon lists?)

There is no "real need". I'm trying things, looking what works out
eventually. I don't do that for a living (if I did, I'd be starved by now).
Or do you mean the real use case? Because that I did do. There really
isn't anything more to it.
Ok, maybe there is (though I still think it boils down to what I have
said before):
I have objects, called Ideas. Ideas have IDs, used as primary keys in a
berkeley database. I want to connect them with connections that have a
'type', may or may not have a 'direction' and may or may not have a
'context'. I want to avoid storing the connections as separate database
objects (lets for now just accept that).
So I decided to store connections as lists of tuples inside Ideas:
[(ID, type, direction, context), (ID, type, direction, context), ...]
Those I want to Filter.
I'll gladly take any advice on how to do it better; mind you however
that the only data structure the db is supposed to deal with is the 'Idea'.
Again: I find this hard to explain, so I should probably rethink the
whole thing. ;)
