Hi,
I am sorry to have sent the first email.
I spent some time looking at the code of Pybliographer and I realize in 
the current version you can link the reference with a file in the system 
by using the URL field. After adding the URL you get a nice box next to 
the reference that opens the file in an external viewer.
I did not see this information in the User's guide. If it is not there 
I think it would be a good idea to add it. Please let me know if I can 
help updating the documentation.

Hope this will help someone else.
Paulo.
