It is indeed. You want to use the `_canonical_uri` special field which achieves
exactly this. See
https://tiddlywiki.com/static/How%2520to%2520embed%2520PDF%2520and%2520other%2520documents.html.

Additionally have a look at the External Attachments Plugin, which allows
dragging & dropping such files into the wiki.

Yes, simply put them as relative into the `_canonical_uri` field. The plugin I
quoted above does this by default.

I have a `files` sub-folder, and all my files I simply include with the
canonical URI set to "files/my-attachment.pdf". Works like a charm with
TiddlyDesktop and also Quine on mobile.

Best,
Patrice
