we use something similar but our tree contains containers and refs to all relevant data so actually it's not a tree but a directed graph with cycles etc.

root - customers - customer a - a's policies - ... root - policies - car insurance - customers w/ ci ...

you can surf thru the whole db which is pretty cool but don't underestimate the amount of data coming from the server...

btw: typical users don't like this mouse-navigation-stuff if it concerns their daily duties as it's too slow
