Hi Reinout,

I am also reading the list btw.

One chapter of a report I made for school was about adding two fields
to Quills with links.  Presumably these would be links to audio files.
Those files could be on the same server or somewhere else.

This was done in a nice zope 3 way with annotations, so no Quills code
had to be modified, except for a page template.  

See chapter 4 of my report:

http://maurits.vanrees.org/studie/maurits-year-at-zest.pdf

I still want to announce this properly to some mailing lists, but I
want to switch my website over to Plone first so the code gets some
real usage.

The code itself is probably not terribly useful to anyone else but
me.  But I think it is a good example of how to use Zope 3 to embrace
and extend existing (zope 2) products without changing the code of
that product.

Oh well, I will move my code to the collective now:

https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/keywordannotator/trunk

keywordannotator is the general product, which actually *can* be useful.
The code I talked about in this mail is in the examples/quadapter dir.

Read that chapter from my report and you will see how things fit together.
