Dunno if this is what you were thinking of with regard to functionality 
in EasyBuilder that's a bit like the applet, but EasyBuilder allows you 
to upload a file and automatically create a QuickLink to it. This means 
you can:
- sort the uploaded file in the resource menu, along with other 
resources (as it's actually the QuickLink that you're sorting).
- provide a title and description of the uploaded file.
- hide the uploaded file, so that you don't see the silly display at the 
bottom of the page.
- add timed release, so that file/link is only available during a 
specific window.

(The QuickLink, timed release and EasyBuilder bits are all scheduled to 
be in 2.6).
