Hi,
Is there a way to quick get a link to an existing attachment? A lot of
times, I find myself referring to the same file. I like to keep files as
attachments so that they are committed with my org-files. Any help here,
either in fixing my workflow or helping me figure out how to get a link
to an existing file that is attached to an org-heading, would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

Dear Narendra,
Here is what I am using:
(defun org-att-complete-link (&optional arg)
"Completion dispatcher for att: links (rewritten from org-attach-open)"
(let* ((attach-dir (org-attach-dir t))
(files (org-attach-file-list attach-dir))
(file (if (= (length files) 1)
(car files)
(completing-read "att: "
(mapcar #'list files) nil t)))
(path (expand-file-name file attach-dir)))
(concat "att:" file)))
(add-to-list 'org-link-abbrev-alist '("att" . org-attach-expand-link))
(org-link-set-parameters
"att"
:complete 'org-att-complete-link)
Regards,
Ihor

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-att-complete-link (&optional arg)
"Completion dispatcher for att: links (rewritten from org-attach-open)"
(let* ((attach-dir (expand-file-name org-attach-directory org-directory))
(file-paths (directory-files-recursively attach-dir ".*"))
(completions (mapcar (lambda (f)
(cons (file-name-base f) f))
file-paths))
(file-name (completing-read "att: " completions nil t))
(path (assoc-default file-name completions)))
(concat "att:" path)))
#+end_src
This worked for me. I had to change it a bit for my use case. Thanks a
lot for the help! :)
