Describe the feature you'd like

I would like to easly refer to paperless-ngx documents in Bookstack.
Example:

Car History

2023-07-24 - Bought car (purchase_contract)
2024-01-04 - Replaced brake discs (receipt)
2024-03-017 - EU Test (receipt, control_form)

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

My usecase might be marginal, but I use BookStack like a wiki for my life.
Here I write down what is happening when it comes to car maintenance, House renovation, maintenance, overview of insurances and finances, computer home-lab info and so on.
So Bookstack is where I write, and Paperless-NGX is where I store documents related to things happening.

I wish there was an easy way to refer to documents in Paperless-ngx

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Documents can be uploaded to BookStack itself, but that goes against my goal here.
I can also make share links to documents, but it is more time-consuming.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

Might be possible with the API. But I am not technical enough to create this myself.

            "file_version": "original"
        }
    ]
}
