These threads touch on aspects of your question.
The Sample Database - Book uses (Book Title) Items that are of the Item Type Text (rtf Detail Pane) with a Form assigned.
What you could do is create a new Template - right-click on the Templates folder, Insert Child, chose Document. Expose the Item Attribute Pane (Ctrl-4). Either create your own Form, or if your working in the Book sample, assign the Book Form to the new Document Template you just created.
Create a new Folder off the Root. Assign this new Document Template to be the Default Child Template of this new Folder.
Now, whenever you send something to this new folder (Link, Copy/Store, Import files) a new Item will be created with the Form at the top and the imported data (picture, webpage...) in the Detail area below.
'Course, you can't "show" more than one picture per UR Item (of the Document Type) - the UR Item represents a unique data file. Any additional images would probably need to be brought in as child items of the "Book".
You may also want to give consideration to your data folder structure, espeicially if you are Linking external files. If the location of the Linked files is below the UR database location, then Links to this data will be Relative. Links outside the UR database path are Absolute (full drive path). A Realtive path will make your database and Linked data more protable - Links won't break.
It should be noted that the Sample Databases are set to Read Only, and you may want to experiment with a copy.
