associate gallery media and files with Articles?

It would be great if, writing an article on a topic, you could do what can already be done with Blog posts - that is, associate the article with both Gallery media and files (either individual or category/album).  I know you can insert links and/or upload attachments, but perhaps it would be more streamlined to associate with existing content so the writer wouldn't have to duplicate information that's already contained in a Downloads or Gallery entry?

Bump, because I think this is important.
