Increase the amount of files to be stored

If I have more than 20 items I want to store (not copy, just reference) I can’t. It seems like an arbitrary limitation. I imagine I could work around this by gathering all the files into a folder, but that’s more effort. If we’re just referencing file paths, why not have a vastly higher number? I can understand trying to manage a number of file copies would be unwieldily, but references should be much easier.
