Have you considered to use PowerApps instead of SPFx for the requirement you have?

TomasG&nbsp; Hi there!&nbsp; I'm not exactly sure I understand the complexity of your requirement.&nbsp; However, I have created forms where -- when you create your record, you can include attachments, then when you save the record the attachments are moved into a specific document library.&nbsp; Then, I later filter the documents to display them on another screen within the PowerApp.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here is the discussion and link to April Dunham's tutorial on moving attachments.&nbsp;https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Creating-Apps/Moving-PowerApps-Attachments-to-a-Document-Library/td-p/236319
