As for the part about linking I'll assume you mean to show a link to an image/data file. That is done by uploading the file from your computer to a file storage system that then provides a "link" to that file that others may access & view. There are many sites that offer this service. Googleing for "image hosting" will list several of them for you. You then include the "link" in your message instead of the entire file as an attachment (many lists don't allow attachments).
