I think John implemented this as "move" because the original idea was  
to attach files that have no other home, that should really be  
associated with the task, only live inside the task.  But I could see  
copies, and even more so hard links as being useful as well.  This  
would make entries into some kind of "Smart Folder", where you easily  
links files without having to insert links into the Org file.

Well, C-c C-a has at least 52 keys to play with, so we can add useful  
ideas, even though I would not like to bloat the system.

Zipping could be useful, but I guess the target zip file should then  
be outside the task attachment directory?  Where?

Maybe one could have a zipper that exports the task to HTML as  
README.html and wraps it up with all the attached files.... :-)
