Hi Ben,
DOORS Next has a client extension API capable of doing many things you do with DXL in DOORS today. Here are some references:
Extending the Requirements Management Application
Enablement presentation
I'd suggest having a look at the API specification to see if the capabilities it provides (ie - RM.LocationSpecification -- "Defines an intended location for an artifact in a module, in relation to another artifact.") will help you accomplish your scenario. Hope it helps,

Ben, you will find a lot of nice examples on those pages listed in Benjamin's answer.
As a demo of what you can do with the extension capabilities, consider this video: Capturing Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in DOORS Next Generation Using Templates and Extensions

A couple of things:
1. The extension capability is part of the 5.0 release of DOORS Next Generation.
2. Be sure to brush up on your HTML/CSS and JavaScript skills.
Good luck!

Bob, this capability was actually introduced in 4.0.5 but has been enhanced in each release up to 5.0.2.
