You could use a versioned version of a "safe-downloads" extension, where 
the actual files are not simply served via the file system.

The workspaces are meant for the content, not the layout. But you can of 
course version your TS templates. As there are no means for the WS-API to 
parse the TS content you have to use different versions of HTML-templates 
and resources (CSS, images) yourself.

I cannot think of technical means to achieve your requirements.

I proposed to link against an "object id". The idea will be created when 
the record is created (could very well be the initial uid, but it doesn't 
really matter). This "object id" is shared by all versions of the object.

Now all link creating routines use the "object id" instead of the uid of 
the record. The rendering routines will have to select the correct uid of 
the "object id" based on the context (which workspace, which version).

I thinkt that this scheme could work, but upgrading an existing installaion 
may be hard or even impossible.
