I think a less stringent, but still workable assumption is that for very similair objects, their distances will be small. This is much easier to accomplish than agreement across all pairs.

Could you explain a bit more. What you say about similar objects is obviously true. However the algorithm sketch that you have in your mind is a little implicit. Could you make it more explicit. I am quite curious.
