It's possible to use Uploader plugin in this case .... ???

Hi every:
After a lot of Google hours and finally I found a plugin for handle multiple files uploads. The address for this plugin is this one: http://milesj.me/code/cakephp/uploader#installation. Because I'm newbie with Cake I need your help on some parts. I have a table called "Records" and other called "Documents" and a relationship between them as 1 record can have many documents so it's 1:m. Now in the Model for table Records I have this code:

<?php
App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');
class Record extends AppModel {
    public $displayField = 'name';
    public $validate = array(
        'name' => array(
            'notempty' => array(
                'rule' => array('notempty'),
                'message' => 'The field can not be empty',
            ),
        ),
        'lastname' => array(
            'notempty' => array(
                'rule' => array('notempty'),
                'message' => 'The field can not be empty',
            ),
        ),
        'email' => array(
            'email' => array(
                'rule' => array('email'),
                'message' => 'The email address is not valid',
            ),
        ),
    );

    public $belongsTo = array(
        'Country' => array(
            'className' => 'Country',
            'foreignKey' => 'country_id',
            'conditions' => '',
            'fields' => '',
            'order' => ''
        )
    );

    public $hasMany = array(
        'Document' => array(
            'className' => 'Document',
            'foreignKey' => 'record_id',
            'dependent' => true,
            'conditions' => '',
            'fields' => '',
            'order' => '',
            'limit' => '',
            'offset' => '',
            'exclusive' => '',
            'finderQuery' => '',
            'counterQuery' => ''
        )
    );
   
    public $actsAs = array(
            'Uploader.Attachment' => array(
                    'fileName' => array(
                            'name'        => 'formatFileName',    // Name of the function to use to format filenames
                            'dbColumn'    => 'uploadPath',       // The database column name to save the path to
                            'importFrom'    => '',                    // Path or URL to import file
                            'defaultPath'    => '',            // Default file path if no upload present
                            'maxNameLength'    => 30,            // Max file name length
                            'overwrite'    => true,            // Overwrite file with same name if it exists
                            'stopSave'    => true,            // Stop the model save() if upload fails
                            'allowEmpty'    => true,        // Allow an empty file upload to continue
                            'transforms'    => array(),        // What transformations to do on images: scale, resize, etc
                            'metaColumns'    => array(        // Mapping of meta data to database fields
                                    'ext' => '',
                                    'type' => '',
                                    'size' => '',
                                    'group' => '',
                                    'width' => '',
                                    'height' => '',
                                    'filesize' => ''
                            )
                    )
            )
    );

}

But as I said before the attachment or uploaded files information it's in Documents table and not in Records so my first question around this plugin is: can I save the file related information in the Documents table? If so how? I try to contact the author but at this moment doesn't reply yet.
Cheers and thanks in advance
