The ItemType must be enabled for Secure Social (see section Enabling an ItemType for Secure Social)
A FileSelectorTemplate must be defined, and set to include in the IDs of desired FileTypes in the Filter property (see section FileSelectorTemplate)
A file with the specific FileType must be added to the Item at the Reference location as specified on the FileSelectorTemplate
