I do the same thing with video files in an application  
(www.einspine.com).
I keep them in custom properties and then turn them into temp files and
reference them by using tempName.  I also write over the video file  
after
I am done playing it with a word or two as they can be found in the  
trash,
when written over the user cannot grab them and play them.
