They even had the unused description field in attachment table. When I questioned them about it, no straight answer could be given.

Are you sure about this? I didn't have that field prior to creating the hack.

Let me bother you with one question, if you are familiar with vbadvanced news.php module. How to display it in front page too?

1. Add it into the template - sorry don't have it installed, cannot help you with this.
2. In news.php, find:

iif ($vba_options['portal_news_showattachments'], ', attachment.filename, attachment.filesize, attachment.visible,

replace with:

iif ($vba_options['portal_news_showattachments'], ', attachment.filename, attachment.filesize, attachment.visible, attachment.description,

3. Done.

Ability to have multiple fields?

I assume it would be a good exercise for your finger muscles to manually type whatever you need, as it is not a lot at all.

Also, if there was one thing the attachment system needed, it's the ability to use a URL

This does not have anything to do with the current hack, however, I will look into it.

Geek placed it in template, but never used that column. He probably provisionned for later. I am going to let him know.

I appreciate that

Thanks everyone for positive comments
