The '.ext' file type is often used as a generic, only old never die Norton Commander fans would have any of those
I tried using symlinks sometime back, but I got into trouble with renames (via changes to Title and Author) and functions like Copy to Library - the symlinks would become copies.
I overcame those issues by using Windows .LNK (shortcut) files, but to sidestep Windows shortcut processing I had to add them via Windows Send to or the command line. Which was a bit of pain.
I then used file:\\\blah blah URL's in a long text custom column that I displayed in the Book Details panel - the advantage was that I could have multiple files of the same format in the one 'book'.
I now put the file inks etc into an Evernote note and link to it from calibre with an evernote:\\\blah blah link. Evernote has 'richer' editing facilities than calibre's comments editor - but the main reason is that I can get at them on the web or on my tablet where I can add dictated audio to notes.
