If I have a note, I could just attach a local file to it. Otherwise, if I have the note first, I must: 1. Create a Document item 2. Drag the note under it 3. Add a link to the file.
But perhaps the note functionality is rather basic. You also can't add child notes to standalone notes. You can't create a parent item from a standalone note either.
I use notes quite extensively that do not refer to references, so this would extend the note functionality.
In your workflow, I would recommend switching to making Document items, then adding notes, attachments, links, etc. to them. Under the hood, Note items are a very different type of data structure than Parent Items, so I don't think there will be an option to add attachments, child notes, etc. to standalone notes.
Being able to Create a parent item for a note would be nice though (@dstillman).
