Basically for links I like the way it is now. I can show a small thumbnail and short description then they can click on the link to visit the site and find out more. But for files I'd like it so that when they click on the link they go to a page where I can explain more about the file and offer any support there. This would keep the link_listbit page nice and organized/uncluttered and still allow me to go into more detail about the file.

sorry if I don't make any sense.. I have a hard time explaining what's in my head sometimes

I think I understand. You're really looking for being able to attach a whole load more 'meta' information about the file. I did this a simple way with categories - you can have the brief and the extended link. I'd prefer not to add an 'ad hoc' solution to this - let me think about the problem for a while, because there's something general to sort out - for example, if the file was an mp3, then you'd like it to read the ID3 tags, if its a picture, maybe the EXIF data, if its a Word document or a pdf, then the document properties, and so on.
