That is a valid use case, but I do not think that is possible. Attachments are an Org only feature, meaning it is not meant for export. That said, it should be possible to use a custom function to "get" the attachments and add it to the end of the exported document using a hook; try this one: `org-export-before-parsing-hook'. To get an idea how to get the files, take a look at org-attach-open in org-attach.el. Once you have the filenames, just insert inline links at the end of the buffer: * Attachments [[./path/to/attachment1]] [[./path/to/attachment2]] This should solve your request. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
