Describe the feature you'd like

It's possible to add file attachment to books or even chapters, and not only at pages?

I primarily produce documentation for my own use in teaching IT technologies, and most of the time, I don't just use the "books" as teaching material. They're accompanied by additional materials such as various projects, which I usually package in ZIP or 7z archives.

These files aren't linked to a specific page, but rather to a topic (chapter) or even the entire syllabus of the book.

Would it be possible to add the option to attach files to the books and/or chapters?

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

More flexibility with attached files; not all attached files are related to pages
Best organization maintaining documentation and related files together

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I don't think so.

Uploading files to "someplace" and adding a link to the Book or Chapter description don't do the same magic ...

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

No response
