Another possibility would be the Lenya-approach: binary documents have a 
html view in the authoring area.
This html view is a simple page which contains meta data and in case 
it's an image maybe something like a thumbnail.
But currently in yanel we have no such thing as authoring- and live 
areas. Could the viewid be used for this?
