You seem to be thinking in terms of a database with parent/child table relationships. Although you can simulate it with SharePoint lists it isn't quite the same thing. You can create a lookup column that references either the list or the document library depending on which you make the parent.

If you want all of the information in one list you will need to add columns to the document library, or more appropriately, the content type that is associated with it, and develop a process to transfer the data from the other list.
