Components already have a datasheet field.
All components ("root" components and aliases) have 3 doc fields:
- doc (this is a comment to help the user)
- keys works (to find them in libraries by keywords)
- doc file: this is like an url because it can be a filename or an 
internet link (if starting by http:)

But because the field "Sheet" is not used, one can use it for a better 
purpose.
