 Hi Christophe,

 There is a short answer, ask more questions if needed.

 In QGIS 1.6, you have two main ways of using a field refering to 
 multimedia file :
 - use an action that will open a specific application, this can be 
 defined in the properties of the layer (see p.74 of the fr manual) and 
 there could be several different actions for one layer
 - use the evis plugin (see p.143)

 If you're interested in QGIS, there will be workshops held at the 
 Rencontres SIG La Lettre the 18 and 19 May.
