One caveat. Org attach doesn't work in quite this way. The data
directory hierarchy isn't really human readable (i.e., it doesn't
mirror the org outline hierarchy). But that would be a nightmare to
make work, I imagine, because of constant changes to the org outline
structure. Rather, directories containing files are attached to
outline headings via automatically generated IDs.
Well, why not allow the user to choose a directory, there's no real
reason why the directory structure has to match the org file?
I started using attachments when the feature came out and really
liked them, especially the simple interface for choosing a file to
attach (even better with ido). But after a while, I found the fact
that I could only reasonably get to attachments through the org file
difficult to work with - what happens when I've finished a task and
archived it off? I've got to go hunting through the archive file to
find the old task before I can find the attachments. So I stopped
using them and decided I'd use normal hyperlinks instead. But then
I found out just how awkward is is to have to either cut-and-paste
the directory path or type it in manually whenever I want to link to
a file.
Did you see Matt' answer in the other thread? That will also work for
you.
