Raised at MooD User Forum, April

As an Architect, I want to be able to store files (ie documents) which are related to elements (eg: via a relationship) within the MooD database so that my architecture contains both the model and relevant supporting documentation in a single source.  I imagine a file to have a type and a relationship to an element

  We realize these solutions via external storage solutions and JavaScript panels in MooD. Achieves what you want here, and integrates nicely. Also gives back IDs to MooD so you can have a relation to your files.

  I have always said the dream for me on this - in my web solutions - is better hyperlink functionality i.e. even a hyperlink field dedicated to easy usage and styling that (like knowledge centres) could just pick up a pattern of hyperlinks easily (or similar) to relate a bunch of elements to pictures or documents or similar things. They don't necessarily have to be stored /in the database/ to be 'contained' inside the rep if the rep knows that the extension is .docx or any .extension in the URL, potentially?

  Clarifying "my" statement above: As an architect I would like to be able to have files/documents embedded in the MooD SQL repository, and the document to be in the same .bak file as the rest of the repository. The documents could be a new Document Type (variant of Type) or possibly, more flexibly, have a new kind of MooD Field that is holds a document that is stored in the same MooD SQL repository; BA and EA functionality would be needed to embed/upload & open/download files.
