You can place the documents wherever you want. You then either select a
location(folder) where multiple documents are stored, or you link a
specific document.
You are not limited to the GnuCash data directory. (that isn't even for
your data file, it is for custom reports, CSS, etc.)
Yes, #2 is how to edit the link.

Thanks to everyone that replied I'm really impressed with the speed of
response!! and thanks for the detailed answer.
I was wondering where the attached file should be stored, I didn't realize
that GnuCash expected them to be in the "... AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\data\
" directory. Is that hard-coded or can I change that? Someone asked what
kind of documents I was trying to save. This is strictly for personal use
so most of the documents are receipts or bills, possibly some cheque images.
I tried the suggested method using file:// and it works great, as expected,
with a couple of little quirks.
1. After I create the link and then go back to look at it I can't
right-click on the little paper clip (or whatever that symbol is), it just
takes me to the document, I don't get the context menu to edit the link.
Right or left click do the same thing. Not a big deal, but strange behavior
to me.
2. If I use the menu Transaction -> Manage Document Link... or if I
right-click in the transaction away from the paper clip, the link I created
is blank in the pop-up window. I can see it in the 'linked file' page as an
existing document link but it doesn't show up in the box where I entered
it. I guess this is not a huge problem but it makes it a bit more difficult
to edit the link should I need to.
Anyway, again thanks very much. I'm really starting to like this GnuCash.
If I have any more questions, I know where to ask!! 😀
