You can already obtain this feature using the XMP Macro Plugin coded
by Gaijin and adding a quick template:
%_A="%XMP_StrTrim('%ATTACHMENTS')"%-
%IF:|%_A|=|<none>|:|%_A=""|:||%-
%IF:|%_A|<>||:|PJ:
%_AC="%XMP_StrItemCnt('%ATTACHMENTS',', ')"%-
%XMP_For('i',1,'%_AC',' %%_i) %-
%%XMP_StrItem("%ATTACHMENTS",", ","%%_i")%-
%XMP_StrC("\n")')%-
|:||%-
