Additional:
this FR exists due to the known limitation of the syntaxis attachment link-handler that only can be used to reference attachments of the *current* object as documented in the "detailed syntax description":http://www.redmine.org/help/wiki_syntax_detailed.html.

bumping. I find it rather limiting that files cannot be attached from other areas.

+1, We would also find this very useful. I think it would need to be done by filename instead of id, but it seems pretty simple to implement.

+1 we need it

+1. We currently need to paste full URLs to the object to get this functionality, but it would reduce maintenance quite a bit if one could link directly to objects in the files module.

You can use some mixed syntax like :

<pre>"Download patch":/attachments/download/18</pre>

Result : "Download patch":/attachments/download/18

"file://somehost/dir/file" is "Windows + Internet Explorer" related stuff and not general.

It's been 8 years since this issue was first referenced. I am not a ruby programmer, but is this THAT difficult to perform?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a (preliminary, not-well tested) patch (taken from SVN), which I extracted from Andriy Lesyuk's "WikiNG":http://projects.andriylesyuk.com/projects/wiking plugin, implementing this feature for the current trunk at r16970. It is not complete yet, though. Todo:
* add tests;
* test filenames with spaces surrounded by quotes;
* test interproject file links.
