Comment (by Otto42):

 There are hooks all over the upload functions.

 If you want to write a plugin to change how uploads work, then there's a
 filter hook on 'wp_handle_upload' that you'll find useful, along with the
 'edit_attachment' and 'add_attachment' action hooks. You'll also need the
 'wp_update_attachment_metadata' filter.

 And if even that's not enough, there's a hook to replace the entire file
 upload system with whatever you like. Just add a filter to
 'uploading_iframe_src' and you can write your own frame to fill that
 space, and manage your uploads any way you want.
