I'm pretty sure its possible on the Windows versions of FileMaker Pro. Its not possible on Mac.

You can drag a pdf file or copy and paste into a contianer field.

You can insert PDF into container fields on the Mac OS X with FM 6. You will see only the first page. You can insert PDFs in as quicktime reference and play them like a movie. The movie randomly pages forward, skipping most pages, but you can also advance one frame at a time.

I've heard on a window machine, double click on a PDF stored as a reference will open the PDF.

Opening a PDF (or image) in a container feild is simple. Just assign a button to the field triggering a script to Open URL on the File Path.

Sure you can script the same functionality, but it would be nice if the windows functionality was replicated on the mac.
