What if the page containing a one-time link was cached, but the resource itself was not? The "secure link" solution doesn't seem to work in all cases.

Correct. And that end user would have to reload the page or clear cache. It's not as effective as just checking the referral. But without referrals, it would be what we'd have to resort to.
