Hello,

Thank you.

One issue is that we're losing the method choice (symlink, copy,
hardlink).

However, `org-attach-attach' already offers to start file system
navigation from a Dired side buffer, if any. We may extend this idea: if
there is a buffer currently displayed in another window, but no Dired
buffer, offer its default directory as a start for completion.

Another idea is to create a new function that will attach the current
file to the subtree in another window. See
`org-attach-dired-to-subtree', for example.

If you haven't signed FSF papers, you need to add TINYCHANGE at the end
of the commit message.

Regards,
