@kovid: referring back to the ideas we discussed in January:

I built a test implementation that uses a "popup:" action in the link field to open an information dialog to display the contents. I added invoking the rich text editor (CommentsDialog) in the context menu of the links field to make it easier to set it. The result: the rich text document is displayed when the link on the item is clicked. Including images, as long as they are file:// urls.

This might be a way to go forward with the original idea. The link field can refer to whatever the user wants: another library, a web site, a local "description document", or whatever. The methods can be intermixed.

The "description document" rich text editor could cache images locally (as we discussed). Cleanup can happen when a table line is removed (a trigger, again as you suggested).

I haven't submitted these changes.
