[dokuwiki] DMS: organize external material

Hello,

I would like to dedicate a part of my dokuwiki to storing external
documentation (editor's white papers and users guide, articles found on
the web...).

I couldn't find any example on the Web.
All I found was articles or bookmarks repository examples.

I actually have a SMB share with directories (defining categories) and
files (grabbed from the Web) inside them (PDF, DOC, PPT, HTML, TXT...). I
use SMB to access my repo from within the LAN and a PHP script transforms
this file hierarchy into a H1/H2/H3/link_to_file HTML file, to enable
viewing it with a navigator from Internet.
To be more precise, the SMB view that can be browsed with the Explorer is
something like:
+ documentation
  + System
    + UNIX
       [] Solaris 2.6 Admin Guide.pdf
       [] The NetBSD Guide.html
    + Windows
       [] Join AD.html
       [] Manage users in 2003.html
  + Mail
     [] Virtual Hosting with Postfix and Dovecot.txt
...
The HTML/PHP (http://myrepo.fr/documentation/) rendered page looks like this:
<title>documentation</title>
...
<h1>System</h1>
<h2>UNIX</h2>
<a href="/documentation/System/UNIX/Solaris 2.6 Admin Guide.pdf">Solaris
2.6 Admin Guide</a>
<a href="/documentation/System/UNIX/The NetBSD Guide.html">The NetBSD
Guide</a>
<h2>Windows</h2>
...

From what I understood, if I access "data\pages" directory from SMB, I
could manage it's content with Windows' Explorer. The directory tree is
automatically understood as namespaces by dokuwiki. But can dokuwiki
automatically renders a "?id=docs" page corresponding to the above HTML
example ? Or do I have to manually update "?id=docs" from dokuwiki every
time the directories are modified from SMB ?

TIA,
   Jo
