If you can suppose that you never have two times the same filename used
in a single document, you can iterate on schema and use
FileField.getFilename(self, instance, fromBaseUnit=True) to detect if
you're using the good field...
There's other issues:
- you must do this in a tool or in an utility as many methods you will
  use are private
- iterations will slow down your site
- filename must be unique in a content type
