how about including a textfield above the file upload box, where users could enter the URL of a file they would like to attach. this would not copy the file to a local directory, but instead, list the url in the "attached nodes" table.
this is useful for small sites that don't have much disk space, so the users would have to host their own files.

ccourtne commentedI don't think this module is appropriate for that purpose. This module is focused on giving the ability to allow upload and attachment of files associated with a particular node.
