I want to know if e.g. the git annex (assistant?) could support
transparently getting files. That is once I try to open file X, which is
annexed and stored somewhere else, X will automatically be fetched
/without/ the need to call "git annex get" first.
I don’t know enough about annex, or file systems, to make a guess. [And I
always just call "git annex get ." in the root of the annexed folder].

The problem sounds like an Upstream Problemᵀᴹ (IMO), and I’d be happy to
get rid of org-attach-git-annex-cutoff, i.e. cutting back on the
"explicit" support (in favor of the better tools for this problem built
into git annex).
