If we move any content out to a separate file, the field itself will stay, it will just contain a path relative to the metadata file. (It does raise an interesting question in terms of filesystem abstractions and the import system, but a "resolve metadata link" API could probably handle that in the long run). It's not especially pretty, but it's better than having to use os.listdir and rely on predefined file names.
