Is it possible to define a storage model that references project areas

where the branches of the tree closest to the root are completely
independent of any project area, but allow a branch to be created that
is tied to a project area that may be in the same repository, or in a
repository on a server half the way around the world. Any children of
the branch tied to a project area are also tied to that project area.
Is anything like this possible? Are there any examples of how I might
go about doing this?

You can use URI references with ILink's.

If you want to model it explicitly, you could add a String field to a
model element (with perhaps another String to represent a label). I have
done this at times, and I have also added a UUID representing the
repository root (so I have the ability to heal broken links when servers
get renamed or are multihomed).

Not all users may not always be able to contact the other server (or
authenticate against the other server), so your component may need to
figure out how to survive when this information is not available.
