indeed, but not in the way you suggest...

web browsers do not work this way.  you can't do two things at a time like
that.  on any given page you have to submit everything at once.  so when
you press the "Add" button, the body and the file name to be uploaded get
sent almost immediately to the server.  the file upload after that might
take a while, thus the page doesn't refresh right away, but that DOES NOT
mean that the body could be sent after the file upload.  at that time,
everything is out of SM's control.  what you ask for is impossible for a
web application (unless the two tasks are split out into two different
windows, blah blah blah).
