@
msel -
I've adapted your scheme as follows:
I created a folder called
!Attachments in the library and configured Library maintenance->Check library to ignore it. For books requiring attachments I create folders named
[book-number] author - title in the
!Attachments folder.
Rather than using a special identifier, I add the file URL to an existing long text column (#links/Links).
When you posted here I was in the middle of doing this ==>>

But that's okay, because I was also cleaning up garbage and getting order into names and folder hierarchies - and it was easy to migrate. The pro of the new scheme is that I have access to Windows Open With feature, the con is that the ../!Attachment/[nnnn] blah - blah folders are loosely coupled with the books, but in proximity - my CAL-ATTACH scheme had them tightly coupled.
