Save Gnus attachments to Org using org-attach and helm-org-ql

Save Gnus attachments to Org using org-attach and helm-org-ql

[Juan Manuel Macías]

Hi all,

I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to be able to save attachments from
GNUS (current article) to any Org node, via org-attach. Since I use
helm-org-ql to quickly access the headlines of my org documents, it
occurred to me to write this action for helm-org-ql. I share it here in
case someone finds it useful.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
