Is there any way to access a document's attachments (the actual bytes, not
just the attachment metadata) from within a show function?
Sorry, there is not -- the query server isn't sent attachments as that
would just be too much data for it to process.
I'd be open to a patch to make show function requests respect
?attachments=true if anyone wants to work on it.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the response, I had tried using ?attachments=true and
suspected that this was going to be the answer ;) At this point we've
got a solution that uses client-side AJAX to accomplish the same thing
that's "good enough", if it becomes an issue we might experiment with
using the Python query server to grab attachments. In this case we have
a small number of documents, each of which has a large number of very
large attachments, so the all-or-nothing nature of ?attachments=true
would be suboptimal.
Cheers,
Tim
