Will Dadabik work for a To-Do List I have in mind?

Hello. Before I try it out, I'd like help in determining whether or not Dadabik could work for an online To-Do List that I'd like to create. I'd like to have multiple URL fields where I can have clickable links, and multiple file attachment fields where I can attach files. The link text for the clickable links would need to be a short word like "Link1" and "Link2" so that this column wouldn't take up too much width in the display of records (there would probably be at least a dozen columns needing to be displayed). Same thing goes for the file attachment column, the link text for those links would need to be something like "File1", "File2", etc. I'd need to be able to easily and quickly edit and delete To-Do items. And I'd need to be able to sort the items based on a column of my choice.

I'd want to have to log in to access my To-Do list, so that the public could not access it. However, it would be nice if I could build my username and password into a bookmarked URL which would enable me to auto-login to my To-Do list. I've noticed that many Perl scripts that I've set up have had this capability where you could log in with a URL something like this:

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi?function=admin&username=john&password=smith

And I've noticed that many web servers allow one to access htaccess password-protected pages by incorporating the username and password into a bookmarked URL, as in http://myusername:mypassword@www.mysite.com/privatedirectory

Please advise as to whether or not what I'm hoping to accomplish can be done with Dadabik. Thank you.

You are describing what DaDaBIK is used for.

As for the password string, if your server is capable of passing such a string, I see no reason why that would not work.
