AttachLinkPlugin and AttachmentUrlShortcutPlugin do have the same intetion and nearly the same functionality. As AttachLinkPlugin is just a subset of AttachmentUrlShortcutPlugin, which has also to possibilty to link to other topics in other Webs, i think AttachLinkPlugin should get removed.

It is possible to think about renaming the Macro name from %A% to %Attachment% or providing both.

I dont think we should confuse users by providing diffrent-named plugins with same functionallity. Better merge them both and lower the effort to maintain them.

nobody cares, closing
