Take a look at http://orgmode.org/org.html#Attachments - it's «the Org-mode way» of attaching files to a node. However, I generally use a different kind of approach. Files like screenshots I name similar to «2013-01-14T10.01 Screenshot - calfw week view sketch.png», thus including an ISO 8601 date/time-stamp. With Memacs [1] I do use a module that generates an Org-mode index of all files that start with such a timestamp [2]. This way, I can refer to any file: [[tsfile:2013-01-14T10.01 Screenshot...]] This custom link (tsfile) takes me to the corresponding Org-mode/Memacs buffer which has the link to the file. So, it's an indirect link but this way, I do not care in which directory the (unique) file is located. This is handy especially when the folder is not the same on different machines you are using. Or when you like to move files (after finishing a project or similar).
