The library database is limited to one filetype extension per book record, whereas BetterRed's method allows associating the arbitrary contents of a folder. That way you can store multiple resources and link to them.

Again, calibre will allow any arbitrary filetypes, with the singular requirement that each file extension be unique.

The only danger in having extra files that calibre is not aware of, is that eventually it will get left behind and disassociated with the folder it belongs in. calibre moves books around when you edit the author/title, or transfer the library to a new location.
