I can't speak to whether there's a better/more sensible way to do it, but
your last idea is certainly workable - on several XWiki sites I've defined
a custom class to hold attachment meta-data and then built a submission
form that saves meta-data (including the attachment url) along with the
attachment. The custom class is then used for display in a table, rather
than the built-in Attachment macro. It's a bit inelegant, but it works.

We are using a SharePoint site to house a document

move this into our xwiki site, but haven't figured out how to configure
pages in a way that would make this viable.
We use lists in SP - so people can add documents and when they upload
them, they need to add in fields such as a description of the document and
notes, usually related to when the document was current as of. The site
auto adds in who uploaded it.
While I can add pages that use the Attachment macro and that makes it easy
to display documents, it’s the extra fields that make the information more
valuable - and that's the functionality I'd be interested in.
One thought I had was to use a form which would then populate a table, but
not sure if that's a truly workable solution.
Thoughts or ideas would be welcomed!
