I just introduced `org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp' which allows the
user to avoid confirmation step for elisp code matching a regexp. Hope
that helps in your case.

I've been working a bit on your idea, it's possible to create a function
and to use it to rename a file when the user is attaching it - but there
are problems: for example, if this function changes, then there will be
*several* attachements for the same file... we don't want that.
So, renaming the file belongs elsewhere IMHO.

Yes. Since the file is now also available as an attachment, a link to
the source file might be useful, while a link to the attached file is a
bit redundant with what org-attach allows you to do (get the file).
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
