Node referencing: How do you display (with VIEWS) a node(edition) with all its references (articles)?

Question

Ingredients:

• Drupal7 + References + Views module installed 2 content types:
  magazine issue + magazine articles (for each issue)
• Article c-type has a reference field: issue_no which displays the issue it belongs
• I made a Views to display me a plain list of issues only.

Requirements

1. When I click on the issue in the issue list I want to see all its references nodes(=articles) attached

2. I need to highlight the latest issue in the list by creating a separate page VIEW on the frontpage that contains articles of the latest view.

I would appreciate any help.

Recently I have done something similar for a project. In article view page go to advanced-> add a contextual filter of issue no. In magazine issue view page in fields-> add -> add a custom text field -> rewrite results -> select Output this field as a link to link it to your article view page with argument as issue no.

For example if your article list view page is article_list, you can add a rewrite result in custom text as article_list/[field_issue_no]; where [field_issue_no] is your issue no field.
