My first suggestion is to stick a new feature request on the forge 
project 
(http://forge.vtiger.com/tracker/?atid=966&group_id=237&func=browse) 
with as much detail as possible in terms of what you actually want the 
user to be able to do and what the outcome should be.

I'd need to check the API to make sure we can get to the data we need 
but it I think that should be doable in theory at least.

I'm just about to start doing the testing for TB8 which is now in Beta 
and will be released on 8th Nov.

There are a few pressing features that I would dearly love to add, but 
we are just too busy with paid work to get much done other than keeping 
up with the 6 week cycle right now.

Adding documents/attachments is one of the top priorities and it sounds 
like your requirement is closely related so maybe we can kill 2 birds...

Secondly, drop me an email (alan dot lord at theopenlearningcentre dot 
com) and we can see if we can come to a suitable arrangement. We need to 
talk timescales, effort and cost I guess.

Cheers

Alan
