Here's what I was talking about:

Yes, it can be done. What I meant was that I wasn't able to drum up a decent discussion. @blocktok articulated it better than I can

What do you mean by it doesn't work?

A discussion post is just text, like this, and you can add the link (or multiple links) in the discussion, anywhere you like, for example [here](https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

I have tried that in the past. It never seems to work for me. I'll try again.

Give the dead horse another whack

You can do that by doing a discussion post with a link inside.

To me it's quite nice how it currently is, either you have a direct link, or you have a discussion. I don't see the need to add anything else.
