I requested this some time ago [1]. While there is not a built-in attach link type, org provides you with ways to easily create this functionality.
In the setup part in my org-files I put --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+LINK: attach elisp:(org-open-file (org-attach-expand "%s")) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Now I can use the "attach" link type, but org will ask me if I want to allow executing the elisp code. To avoid this you can even set org-confirm-elisp-link-function to nil (I don't like this because it allows any elisp code in links) or you can set org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp appropriately. In my case I use : (setq org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp "org-open-file") This works very well. -- Darlan [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg37613.html At Fri, 29 Jul 2011 10:33:37 +0200, Gustav Wikström <gustav.e...@gmail.com> wrote: > > [1 <text/plain; ISO-8859-1 (quoted-printable)>] > What about being able to link to attachments in a similar way as one links > to files or web-pages?
