You can download some general container field examples here:

Of interest might be:
AS_InsertPath_OpenPath
FM-Field-Reporter
ImageRefTesting
and I think 'fm_tests_3_things' might have some container field stuff as
well.

Well, FM 6 could only officially store images on the Mac version. But,
other file types could be put there by using AppleScript, raw data and a
forged PICT header. Now it's much more like the Windows version where OLE
could put almost anything in there.
