There are several threads on the forums about using OF for reference information. Most people seem to find it more workable to keep reference information separate from OF. I tend to use separate folders on my hard drive for reference information. I keep an Active folder on my desktop containing aliases to the folders of my active project reference information. Other people use links from OF to the folders. Still others use different reference management programs.

I'm not suggesting that any of these are the right way to manage reference information—or that keeping it in OF is the wrong way—but you might poke around the forums a bit to see if there are ideas you'd find useful.
