If a user uploads an attachment either to a new document(wiki) or as part of a task/workbench. Is there a way to tie that attachment to a user?

I'm using OA2 in an educational setting where subjects and courses are in spaces/sub spaces. I'm using documents and tasks in an effort to manage assignments. The issue is that I want a student who uploads an attachment to a task or document to also have that attachment (i.e. his piece of work) archived in a portfolio.

I've considered creating an additional files/folder section for each student to which the student would also upload their file (besides attaching it to submit to the staff member) but it seems like there should be a way to have that attachment automatically go so somewhere that's directly accessible to the student. (i.e. a block or panel where a user could see all their attachments in a sortable list regardless of space).

Is there a way to approach this within current functionality or would this be something new?

The file_managed database table where records are created for each file upload has a user uid field, so I think you could create a View of Files that filters on a specific user uid.
