[AG-TECH] Possible variant on 'Venue data'?

I'm guessing that folks have already thought of this, but it seems to me
that there is a need for another sort of venue data - a pointer to data
that exists in some external source. So, for example, instead of dropping
my data into the venue, perhaps because it is too large, I drop in a
pointer to the actual location of the data.
There is also the problem with the 'data in the venue' model (and also the
need for local copies of data for shared applications like Powerpoint) that
you effectively lose control of the distribution of your data. If I wanted
to present some information, but I didn't want it to be distributed, then
the present model wouldn't work for that. I suppose the 'VNC'-style of
displaying the presentation would preserve control, but it has it's own
problems.
