Hi Stefve I have used TWs with references to video, images, audio and pdf's a lot. When you reference to images through fields and show them in eg. custom viewtemplates - then you can rely on normal file references (to images in the same directory as the TW) - when seeing the TW online - but if you want to use images - or any file in your TW, you must embed the files in your TW. Filesize is not a problem because you don't have to actually encode the files to attach them to the TW. An example of a link to a file which is located in a directory in the same directory as the TW: "./images/imagetitle.jpg". You simply write [img [imagetitle.jpg]] - and the attached file - embedded in a tiddler delivers the local path to the file. It works very well with Dropbox - and with any file I have tried to attach... I often use pdf's in iframes like this: <html><div align="center"><iframe src="pdftitle.pdf" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="600"></iframe></div></html> I don't even have to write that it is a pdf-file or suggest a path. The embedded file tiddler (title:pdftitle.pdf) delivers paths and mimetype.
All you need to make it work is Eric Shulmans http://www.tiddlytools.com/#AttachFilePlugin + AttachFilePluginFormatters, AttachFileMIMETypes. For easy and automatic attachment - You should also install http://www.tiddlytools.com/#FileDropPlugin.
