Is it possible to let multiple rows look at the same file instead of uploading it multiple times as copies?

Hi Maarten, 

You could consider creating a sort of attachment table and upload files there, then link these attachments to other records in your application. Would that suffice?

Hi @Mark Jongeling 
 
Its a solution but i think its too much of a work arround for this situation. Are there any other ways?

It's the same kind of solution Thinkwise made for the Software Factory with the icons.
Maybe you can expand this with a handler concept to work around the lookup table.

When uploading a file to an external storage such as disk, ftp or a cloud storage, you can easily share the pointer (url/path) to the file between various records by simply copying the pointer value.
