GOS 'Create Attachment' - Can we archive it to DMS?

Question

Greetings All!
I know for sure that if we store using 'create attachment', these are stored in the database. If you store using "store business document" these can be stored in the content server. Is there anyway we can route create attachments to DMS instead of  DB?
NOTE - Currently we have greyed out create attachments to stop users from using create attachments as our SOC3 and SOFTCONT1 tables are rapidly increasing.
All your help is much appreciated.
Regards
Sri

Hello Travis,
If I understood Sri Latha posting correctly she wanted to store the documents in the DMS rather than in DB(SOC3 table) whenever a document is attached.  
I have very limited knowledge SAP DMS as I am more into ABAP & OT. So it is because of you I took 2 days to understand & configure SAP DMS and 2 hours to code for possibility check for storing the documents in the DMS. For which I am happy .
Before going a ahead I checked SOC3 table enteries to be "587.055".
In had take "SGOSATTR" to SM30 to see what is the class that responsible for attaching and displaying the documents and found
Now I copied them to ZCL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE & ZCL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_LIST respectively. To comment their "Execute" method code and placed the custom code.
I had hard coded the location from where the document needs to picked up from.  
I had put code such a way that document once stored get's display CV02n
Now I want to see the attachment(yet to adjust code to display as attachment currently displaying in other window).
In my previous posting I though referring the other answer would give a clue of modifying the respective class of the GOS menu's. Sorry, for confusing.
Now when I checked for the SOC3 table entries they are still "587.055". Which means they are not storing any more in DB(as per my limited knowledge )
Below is the raw code just checking the possibility :
