Partial replication

I created a partial replica on the local server which eliminates the attachments by indicating ‘receive document from server - Summary only’. When I open a record on the local server, it indicates that it is ‘truncated’ and it will not allow me to put the document in ‘edit’ mode. Within the database I have a button to send email with the doc link but am unable to use this option because the ‘send to’ field which is a names field is not editable. Any suggestion how I can send an email with the doc link included, from the local replica. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
