It's a bit less automated than you might like, but if you define this
library of babel method:

#+name: insert-attached-images
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var where=(point)
(save-excursion
(goto-char where)
(mapcar
(lambda (file)
(format "[[%s]]" (org-attach-expand file)))
(org-entry-get-multivalued-property
where org-attach-file-list-property)))
#+END_SRC


use it like:

#+call: insert-attached-images() :results list

e.g:

#+BEGIN_ORG

** Heading with attachments                                   :ATTACH:
:PROPERTIES:
:Attachments: t.png t2.png
:ID:       528b68ed-c896-4a4b-aa3f-b3d292b693bf
:END:
#+RESULTS:

#+call: insert-attached-images() :results list

#+RESULTS:
- 
[[/export/home/ut0598/tmp/data/52/8b68ed-c896-4a4b-aa3f-b3d292b693bf/t.png]]
- 
[[/export/home/ut0598/tmp/data/52/8b68ed-c896-4a4b-aa3f-b3d292b693bf/t2.png]]

#+END_ORG

in a heading with ad-hoc attachments, it will do what you want...
