Change URL of attachment

Hello all,

is it possible to change the URL of an attachment? There doesn't seem to be a way of clicking on that field, without actually opening that URL.

Many thanks,
Bjoern

Hi, maybe this post is somewhat useful:

Ah yes - thanks. Though I would like the reverse process: Suppose the file has come from local disk, and doesn't have a URL, then how do I add one?

I suppose locating the documents online, and then re-adding from the online source is possible, but tricky at times when you have poor connectivity.

The background to this is that this mechanism would enable multiple URLs to be associated with a record: The URL at record level, and then a URL per attachment. That's helpful if a PDF is posted in several locations (e.g. if it's a shared resource) and I want to give credit to both.
