[Radiant] Idea: Other form elements during input

[Jacob Burkhart]

Andrew,
I suggest you check out:
http://dev.eyebeam.org/projects/radiant-partatts/wiki

This extension/hack of Radiant gives all your pages an "attributes" tab 
where you can add named strings, bools, links, and files...  (and then 
reference them from r: tags)
