i like the idea but am concerned that "attachment" might be annoyingly long
to type on the CLI. If you'll move it into its own top-level command then
it could take advantage of fossil's built-in "auto-shortening" of top-level
commands, e.g.:

fossil att[achment] add ...

If it's a subcommand of "wiki" then the ability to use any unique short
form of it doesn't come for free (that only works for top-level commands).
