Linking sources to an actual (copy of a) document?

Famous Writer Customers FamilyTrees.GenoPro.com GenoPro version: 3.1.0.1 Last Login: Sunday, May 12, 2024 Posts: 472, Visits: 3,204	I would like to get rid of my boxes with evidence data consisting of paper mails, personal notes, drawings, newspaper clippings, tomb pictures, birth and deadth announcements etc., and at the same time save time when looking for the documents that were used to capture genealogy data. The idea would be to scan or copy all documents and to store them as separate files on the PC, probably in a folder next to the one with pictures I'm using in the reports right now. The difference with report pictures is that these would be "for my eyes only" so that when needing to check some data about e.g., an individual I would be the only one able to visualise the source document(s). They would NOT be referenced in the report. I read thru the discussion about "Recommendations for source citations & source repositories" (http://support.genopro.com/FindPost10027.aspx) but what I'm looking for is not related to the Report Generator, it would probably be GenoPro only. Right now I'm storing the documents in separate files named "Evidence00001", "Evidence00002", ... and keeping one or more references in the <comments> field of the <sources> tab (hoping this is a private field), but a "click-and-see" option would be appreciated.
