In our environment we have multiple units that are responsible for maintaining documentation (specs, requirements, etc). Most of these units store their information on servers local to them.

In the current process, we have the ability to create attachments for tasks, but this causes several problems for us.

1) We do not want to store duplicate documents.
2) We would have to purchase larger harddrive systems to store all this information that is currently stored on other servers.
3) The attachments can become outdated and would require dropping them and re-attaching the new documents.

The solution we would like to see implemented is to allow us to create links (with descriptions) to external resources. Then the external units can continue to manage their documents per their process, and our users would always link to the most recent versions.

Thanks
