This was just my preference since I hardlink almost all of the time.
Further attach-methods should be included, I agree.

I chose org-dired.el because of the similar gnus-dired.el from which the
idea has emerged.  org-attach.el also looks like a good location for the
feature to me.

Okay, I will stay with "subtree".
