Topic: Appointments and Supporting Information

Case:
There is a need to be able to send out specific information about separate appointments, such as patient instructions, pictures, directions, etc., to patients.
So, my thought is that I would like to add "supporting information" (accessible for the patient) in the appointment profile. The information could be something like "patient instructions" and would be added in the form of a url-link or an attached PDF.
Is there any special resource I would use as a reference for "supporting information", which could be any. Could "Attachment" be useful? https://www.hl7.org/fhir/datatypes.html#attachment
Or should we just make some sort of extension?

DocumentReference would allow you to convey attachments. Attachment is a datatype and can't be the target of a reference.
