Links to local documents in Calender

I wonder if there is a way to make a link to a document (Word/PDF) I have on my storage card and place the link in the Notes-part of the Calender?
I have quite a lot of Calender-appointments where there is more information about the appointment in a separate document, and it would be great if I could make a link to that document somewhere in the appoíntment.

[Q] Dealing with thousands of photos

Since the camera is insanely great on this phone I have racked up thousands of photos over the past few months.
It takes me a long time to do the following:
- Sort the photos on the phone's gallery into manageable events (because the phone sometimes mixes my work/home photos etc)
- delete bad photos from the phone's gallery
- log into G+ and go through the thousands of photos again, sorting them into albums again.
- delete the pictures from the "auto-upload" section of G+ (I treat this kind of like the gmail inbox and like to empty it out once in awhile)
It's a crazy number of steps. I do want to keep auto-backup, because I do find it very useful to be able to share photos and albums so effortlessly. Also, when I want to wipe my phone, I don't have to worry about backing any of them up, because I know they are all backed up already. Also, I don't want to miss out on any auto-awesomeness. So I don't really want to turn it off.
So how do the rest of you deal with your thousands of awesome photos?

I don't have near the number of photos you have, just between 150-200 at a time. I have set Dropbox for auto upload and after taking a few snaps I go into the gallery, delete pics I don't like and share to FB or Twitter some of them right away. Synching only via Wi-Fi allows me to delete bad ones when I took plenty
When I reach an unmanageable number of photos on any phone, I just keep the ones I really like and store the remaining on my HDD and the cloud using SkyDrive.

I have it set to only auto-upload when im on wifi and plugged in, which I figured would work great. But it turns out I'm on wifi for about 80% of my photo-taking. And when I'm on wifi and I plug in, its because my battery is dead and I want it to charge... not the best time to be uploading hundreds of images.
I suppose I just have to delete them quicker, but with this camera, there are so many good ones that I don't want to lose. It's also not as easy with the sense camera as it is with the stock google camera. In the camera-roll view you could just swipe photos down to delete them.
I guess what is really annoying me is that I want to keep up a gallery on the phone, and one on google+ photos, and they don't sync like they should. If I sort photos on the phone, google+ should mirror the sorting. But it doesn't, it just dumps them all into one huge auto upload folder. So you end up with a messy phone gallery, or a messy google+ gallery, or you maintain both.

Actually deleting photos from Picasa permanently... HOW?

People are fooled by the numerous videos on Youtube on how to remove those annoying Picasa photos from being seen on your device. But all those videos show the exact same instructions which only remove the photos from syncing to that device. It does not delete them. Once you buy a new phone, those photos will show up again.
I would like to know where they are coming from. and delete them permanently.

All photos backed up from your phone are in Google+ Photos. If you delete them there it will ask you if you want to delete the photo everywhere.

Use an app called Picasa Tools. From there you can change the albums to Hangouts. Select and delete the pictures you want.
I'm guessing that any Picasa gallery app would work?

There are a few ways to delete from Picasa.
1) open google photos. delete from there. It will warn you that it will delete pictures even off of your device, however.
also remember to open the side menu and empty the trash, they don't get deleted immediately.
2)go to your google + photos on an actual computer. you can delete them through there without worrying about them being deleted from your phone. However, if you have auto backup on, it'll just reup them again anyways.
to change what gets uploaded, open the side menu in google photos, go down to "on device" and uncheck(disable the cloud icon) the folders you don't want backed up. if you don't want any backing up, make sure you turn off the photo syncing in your google account settings on your phone. (settings - accounts - google - *your account* - uncheck Sync Google + Photos) Then clear the cache on your gallery app and reload the app, it'll all be gone.

If they keep reappearing try this: Get on a desktop computer > sign into google account > go to picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1 and delete the actual photos at the source.
It will give a huge list of the places that the photo is being deleted from! Caution: this deletes the photos from EVERYWHERE including blogger posts, etc
