Support for "File" columns in Lookup Fields

Ideas & Features

Hi Fibery Team! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve noticed a limitation in how data can be synced. Currently, it is impossible to use a Lookup field to pull data from a File column.

The Setup:

  • Space A (Creatives): Contains all creative assets (File columns). Both the Creative Team and Managers have access to this space.

  • Space B (Finances): Contains sensitive financial data. Only Managers have access to this space; the Creative Team is restricted.

The Problem: Managers spend their time in Space B analyzing performance and spend. To make decisions, they need to see the creative file (from Space A) right next to the financial metrics (in Space B).

Since I cannot “Lookup” a file from Space A into Space B, Managers are forced to:

  1. Constantly switch between spaces to see what a specific creative looks like.

  2. Or, re-upload files to Space B.

Problem: re-uploading is illogical, doubles the disk space usage, and creates a mess if the original file in Space A is updated.

Proposal: Please allow File types to be selectable in Lookup fields. This would allow Managers to pull the visual asset into their private financial workspace, creating a seamless and logical workflow without duplicating data or compromising space-level permissions for other teams.:upside_down_face:
