Default tie several docs to one main doc - enable opening individual docs

Is there any way to tie several word docs to a main doc (like a book) that
allows you to open the individual docs from the main doc?

Update: Actually what I would like to create is a master document (i.i a book
of all policies) and be able to make updates to it and also have the updates
show on the individual policy files at the same time.

Word has a Master document function, but it is notoriously capable of
corrupting your documents

You can however use IncludeText fields to include separate documents in a
document. Provided you update the fields, they will show the current
information from the linked documents.
