 * Hi there,
 * first of all, let me thank you for this fantastic plugin. This is by far the 
   best download manager out there, and I really appreciate all the work and effort
   you have put into this plugin.
 * I have a question which might just be me not getting something. I use CKEDITOR
   and CKFINDER as WYSIWYG editor and image management solution (as I hate my media
   library to be jammed up with screenshots in posts).
 * My question would be: how can I have a button appear next to the “Add Media” 
   button to either pick a previously uploaded file and attach it to my post or 
   actually upload it (or link to an external source) while actually editing the
   post or page?
 * I realize I could use short codes, however I have quite a non-technical group
   of content contributors and they wouldn’t understand how to use this…
 * I am feeling like I am missing something, but neither on your homepage and the
   official documentation nor here did I find anything that answered my question…
 * Thanks for your help!
