No problem.

This is possible, yes, except:

1) I will have to add that hook "post-soap-save" which I will do
   tomorrow when my shift is over.

2) The user will have to write a "hook script" (see ~/.gnumed/scripts/)
   which actually does the desired action - such as, in this case, to
   check for recent vaccinations, display the warning, and allow the
   "mark as related".

So, within the confines of the above, yes, that's possible !

That's what we've got the database reports plugin for. I'd be happy
to include report definitions if people contribute them (which can be
done right from the reports plugin ;-)

The vaccinations will link to a particular vaccine, which in turn defines
the type of vaccine used. The *indication* (which the list was about)
will be "pertussis" in either case.
