Order would be preserved such that the first file dropped would always  
be bdsk-file-1 (ideally they'd be user-defined...but rearranging isn't  
implemented).

I was thinking something like a toggle would be useful to switch  
between the user's preferred display and a file display, which might  
obviate the need to icons in the table column?  It would be pretty  
handy for gathering up all files for the selected references.  I've  
also wondered about a list view; at that point, we're basically  
reimplementing Finder to look at a flat directory.

Yeah, I experimented with that, and I think adding icons with the URL  
links might be okay by default.

Before creating my custom view, I tried a custom attachment cell  
subclass that displays thumbnails in the textview, but it used memory  
like crazy.  It's also amusing to see PDF files each displayed in  
their own scrollview inside the attributed textview, which is easy  
with text attachments.
