O! That's the answer I sought.
The mechanism is called \attachment and it is in a working state - fine!
Any pointers to usage examples?

BTW it is not just matter of taste.
Many tools produce not just models for 3D PDF (U3D or PRC),
but complete PDF documents with additional JavaScript-programmed actions
linked to proprietary toolbars etc.
If this extended surrounding of the model is to bee preserved attachfile 
instead of embedfile approach is a must.

           Sincerely, Michail
