I think it is so interesting, we have actually tried a variation of it! I
set up an org-file that exported a supplementary information file, using
attachfile to embed data files and scripts in the pdf. Unfortunately, the
journal "processed" the pdf file, and stripped those files out ;( We
haven't tried to see if we can get our original supplemental pdf accepted.
