I just tried:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      (quote (("v" "Test" tags-todo nil
	       ((org-agenda-files '("~/Org/inbox.org"))))
	      ("w" "Test 2" tags-todo nil
	       ((org-agenda-files '("~/Knowledge_base/2016/Private/Get_started_with_org_mode/get_started_org_mode.org")))))))
#+end_src

It works fine for me.

> No, that's not what I want. What I'm talking about is extending org-mode conceptually with the concept of 0-level headlines, where the body of that "headline" would be everything before the first headline in a file, and where I could specify (for example) an attachment-directory and be able to use it with this new syntax to link to attached files. I guess I took it a bit far with the example of visualizing multiple files from a folder as separate headlines inside a single emacs-buffer though. It would be cool to be able to do that but my intention was more about introducing the 0-level headline concept.

Yeah. But someone needs to volunteer with the patch.
It would be even better if these 0-level headings can be edited from the
referencing file.
