adding documents and files to a contact

I was wondering if there was a field in contacts or a way to associate, for instance a letter, to a contact card so that I may, if I forget where something is filed, go to that contact and find all correspondence and files that I created that would relate to that person?

Re: adding documents and files to a contact


It may help us to help you if we could know which hardware model and software version you are using.


Eg: On my MacBook Pro using MacOS 13.7.8

Can click on "edit" at bottom right on a contact card to add whatever details I wish under "Note" at the end.

Would likely add the links, (or a note about the location)s)) to any associated files or folders on my Mac.

(Seems unwieldy to try adding all correspondence there,

eg: a collection of correspondence in a folder of same contact name, possibly in the Documents folder,

is easy to access.)


Another way to find everything quickly is to use the contact's name in a "search" field in a Finder window,

in order to see everything related that is stored on Mac.
