This sounds like a purely backend changes, yes?  But it's not clear to
me what problem you are attempting to solve by doing this.  While
unifying the OCFV and Attachment data storage is a perhaps-useful
goal, I don't see much actual gain from it -- it will increase the
size of the Links table by orders of magnitude.  I also don't
understand how this would avoid having to load the file data into
memory when saving or loading (your point 2).
