Our plan is to use Security-Scoped Bookmarks for all new documents to store external file references when we go to the sandbox environment. In our use case, I would guess that none of the external referenced files would be stored in our sandbox.
The problem that I have is opening old documents that where created pre sandboxing or documents that where created on Windows and copied to the Mac with their associated external files. I would be very interested in knowing how Final Cut plans to handle similar problems.
