in practical terms, i want to link to other locally saved files from an ebook, instead of using online urls, and also be able to upload all of it to share with others as a single package that'll work regardless of where its saved at their end.

somehow I missed the fact that your post was in the Editor subforum (its a fairly common subject in other contexts) - so scratch what I wrote - sorry.
For the record : long text columns (like Comments) are held as HTML, hence my assumption. If you look at the Comments input area in Metadata Edit you'll see the Normal and HTML tabs I mentioned, they're at bottom.
But... if you put a link to a file on your computer into the text of a book, then do you expect the link to work if the book is on a reader or some another computer - I suspect it wont, because it will be unreachable. You'd need to put the file inside the epub - wouldn't you???
Unless of course it's for your use only, on your computer. BTW if you move or rename a file that's referenced by a file:\\\... link then you will break the link.
