  Hi John,

  How about use a Content Query web part to display all documents in that library or on that site?
  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/display-data-from-multiple-lists-with-the-content-query-web-part-HA010174134.aspx

  Or create a linked data source to join these 2 libraries, and display data in a data view web part.
  Create a linked data source in SharePoint Designer: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/add-a-linked-data-source-HA010115404.aspx
  Create a data view web part: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/create-a-data-view-HA010094804.aspx#_Toc269110654
  You may add the Name field to data view, then right click the Name field > Format it as hyperlink > left it {@FileLeafRef} as the hyperlink display name > modify it to {@FileRef} as the hyperlink URL so that we can open the documents by clicking the document Names.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks & Regards,
  Emir Liu

  I think they want to do this more 'on the fly' than plan it out like that.

  My main problem is that this needs to be sort of Ad-Hoc and not planned out ahead of time.   The end user must be able to do the "link".

  Hi John,

  You could create a workflow and attach it to that document library.  Inside of that workflow logic have it create links to this new document in other document libraries.  The end-user just needs to start it manually when they want it pushed out.  You can use SharePoint Designer to create the workflow.

  Other than that, you’ll most likely have to look at a custom written solution for this.
