Yes, you are right. Perhaps you should try what Max suggested.

I think this would be a good solution for you. You could perhaps add a 
localfs folder or an ExtFile calling the manage_add method of such 
classes. I also considered them for my solution, but actually I didn't 
use them because I don't want to add more extra dependencies to my 
Product and my applet doesn't change. In case it changes some day, then 
I will have to think about an update method, but I think it isn't 
difficult to do it.
