Is this the best way to do it? You could generate a list of related
articles dynamically, based on article's publication date and topic
(which, of course, means that you need to keep track of topics in your
database).

So what seems to be the problem? You receieve several ID numbers or
URLs via POST, and run one or more INSERT queries with this data.
