What Selva was talking about sounds to me a little like a feature in 
recent releases of Office on MacOS (and possibly on Windows too, I'm 
still stuck in 2002) that allows linking various binary-type objects to 
calendar items (for example, an agenda for a meeting, written in Word). 
It seems a natural way to work, and from what I heard, users get 
attached to this kind of feature very quickly. FWIW, I think it would be 
good to have a plan to incorporate such a feature in Chandler. Even 
having an item kind that simply holds a URL (file:// or maybe webdav://) 
of a binary object and lets the OS figure out which application to use 
to open it would be a good start.
