in thread letting a browser client select a file to download by inode

Sure its good enough for the file system. Applications however use filenames because those wont change even if you have to delete and recreate files, or reload files from back, or install a new hard drive etc. You could always store the location and the inode, then use your inode link to update names when they change the filename on the system. Or you could give them a web based way to change the name so that you can keep track of it that way.
