I totally agree. It gets confusing and authors have to add a note requesting that the support files be ignored. Half the time reviewers don't pay attention to those notes and waste time reviewing support files.

If you upload these reference documents, they become part of the review. The only other option is to create a custom review field and use the text field to tell people where to find the reference material. (We ended up zipping up reference material, checking it into SCM, and putting a link to the zip file in this custom text field.
It would be nice to have a more elegant solution to include reference materials in with a particular review. Ideally, a way to upload these files but not make them part of the review itself.
