Apparently I wasn't clear enough:  this would be separate from Local-Url and 
any custom file fields you have defined.  You could keep using the path-based 
system, or migrate to the new system with aliases, which would be a one-time 
operation.

There would be no main file field, and you wouldn't set a field name/type for 
files in prefs.  Fields would be added dynamically as needed.  So you drop two 
files on the view, and one is assigned to Bdsk-File-1, and the other is 
Bdsk-File-2 in the BibTeX file.  All you see is the file's name, and its icon.  
This assumes you're not already using that naming scheme for something else :). 
 Same idea goes for adding files via AS.

You'd definitely be able to add files using a path/URL, and query files for 
their current path.  The field index could also be displayed with each file, if 
you need to get a particular file with AS.
