Indeed, my bad…
So one solution you have is to create an AttachmentClass xclass in your wiki
with all the additional metadata you wish to have and have an xproperty in it
that points to the attachment reference.
Then you can add a UI to create this xclass automatically when you add an
attachment.
And you can create a new Suggest Source that indexes these xobjects.
