Thanks very much for the input especially as you are obviously way beyond the playing stage. As I don't have a huge amount of non-text assets at this stage, for each asset I will try creating a md note that contains a link to the real asset and see how far I get. I guess this may not work well for images you want to publish inline, but I'm dealing mostly with pdfs and just need a clickable link so it might do as a workaround. Will be interesting to see how this is dealt with in the future.
