Maintaining a connection between Leads and Accounts for a Custom Object

I'm having trouble developing an S-Control to keep a link between Leads and Accounts for a Custom Object.
 
The basic situation is this:
 
The custom object is connected to both the Leads and Accounts Tabs but when the Lead is converted the Custom Object never establishes a connection to the new Account created.
 
I'm hoping there's a way to create this link upon conversion but I'd settle for anything that allows for the connection to be established without having to manually click on the field and lookup the newly created Account for evey single Custom Object.
 
I've started working on a Custom S-Control but if someone has already developed this I'd love some assistance with what has previous worked in order to adapt to our Salesforce.com system.
 
This is the first time I've posted on the community but it appears that this is a pretty successful place for getting questions answered and assistance for those new to manually programming the system.

I've got a similar requirement - I've created a custom object to record meetings, and want this to link to accounts or leads. But when the lead is converted it should switch from linking to the lead to the new account.
Not sure of the best solution here either?
