The solution we propose for this is WebDAV (search xwiki.org on webdav). Mount your wiki as a webdav driver. This allows you to see the attachments for example. Work in your favorite editor for those attachments. When you save in your editor the attachment is updated remotely. The only possible issue is with concurrent locking. It's possible that if one has the lock others will only be able to open the attachment in read only. To be tested. Let us know!
