A sync table can only have 1 source.  But you could have 20 Actions on 20 tables to create a record in the centralized table.  The centralized table can have a formula to link back to the original document such that wen clicked, it will display the file attachment even though the file attachment is not actually on the centralized table.

And for the "formula to link back to the original document," what formula would you use?
