I'm working on a similar problem. My users want to update multiple fields from multiple documents at one time. For eg. They want a view like display of documents and have fields on each row which they can modify and submit it for batch update. After lot of trial & error I have now come up with a solution. I'm creating html fields on the fly in WebQueryOpen agent and replacing them into display fields present on the form. I also have hidden fields which accept multiple values on the form corresponding to the html fields that are created on the fly as notes wont accept html fields, so thats a bit of hack.
Initially I was trying to use javascript in view column to create html fields but notes does not recognise them.
I have to display more than 10,000 documents which makes it a bit slow but I'm now allowing users to select documents on one screen from a view (with check boxes) and display those documents with fields on the next screen. It works like a charm.
