Attaching files to emails within CRM Deals.

Attaching files to emails within CRM Deals.

Hello,
We have recently started using the extension "Workdrive for CRM" (Related List) to view/store our documents for each Deal, instead of using Attachments. Overall it feels like a better way to go but the user experience is not so great when it comes to emailing files to the customer.

Is it possible to add any sort of custom code (client script/widget etc) to the 'Send Email' element in CRM? The reason I ask is because my users find "Attach from Workdrive" much more long-winded than 'Attach from Record', as they have to search/click through from My Folders to the Deal folder each time and then specify if they want to send a link or a copy.

The following approaches come to mind, but I'm not sure whether they are possible...

1. Set the default view for "Attach from Workdrive" to pick up the Deal folder (the id is in a field on the page) rather than always defaulting to 'My Folders'.
2. Creating some sort of custom widget/button inside the Send Email popup to enable users to select files from a specific folder in workdrive (using the folder ID which is already available).

Any thoughts/suggestions/similar experiences?
