I can't speak to whether there's a better/more sensible way to do it, but your last idea is certainly workable - on several XWiki sites I've defined a custom class to hold attachment meta-data and then built a submission form that saves meta-data (including the attachment url) along with the attachment. The custom class is then used for display in a table, rather than the built-in Attachment macro. It's a bit inelegant, but it works.
