At the risk of putting my foot in my mouth again, since I am just
starting on my Wiki journey as well:
An other option would be to customize the variable "$wgFileExtensions"
in your "LocalSettings.php" and allow users to upload files other then
the few images and music format currently allowed. Like this
---------------------------- START PASTE ----------------------------
$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg',
'ogg', 'doc', 'pdf');
---------------------------- END PASTE ----------------------------
They could then use the media link to refer to these files. Just like images.
What do you think?

Before you do anything else, make an HTML file that includes a file:
link, and put it on your web server. Load it up in all the web browsers
that you might expect to be in use internally, and confirm that the
link actually works.
For security reasons, many current browsers don't allow file: links
from web pages. It may require special configuration to get them
working, or it may just not be possible.
I can't find a way to do that in MediaWiki?
Is it possible?
