If you look in a particular inventory item file within an untarred IAR you will see something like 
the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InventoryItem>
   ...
   <AssetID>c833987c-704e-436b-96f1-254206b7e7df</AssetID>
   ...
</InventoryItem>

The UUID within the asset id is the pointer to the file in the assets folder.  This will have a name 
such as

c833987c-704e-436b-96f1-254206b7e7df_notecard.txt

This is the only association required.
