Linking To an *Attached* Text File

[ResumeWriter]

I searched the forum threads for this topic, but didn't find any
information from which I can extrapolate. I know how to link to an
image, but not any other file type.

I've attached a text file to a WikiPage. I want to link to this file
from the page to which the file is attached. I want to link to it
because I want the reader to be able to click on the link and launch
the text file.

(Basically, the text file is just a complex table in
refStructuredText, but my company hasn't gotten around to installing
the appropriate packages to render the table. Long story.)

Thank you,

Angela

Have you looked at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracLinks ?

That content talks about how to link to an attachment in a ticket,
right?

Attachment: attachment:ticket:944:attachment.1073.diff

I figure out if I can extrapolate, and play around some more. I'm not
too technical, so I wish the documentation were a little more straight-
forward. To do x, do y.

Thank you for responding. I appreciate your help.

There is an example as well on how to use an attachment from a wiki page:

That worked. Here's what I figured out:

[attachment:TableAppOS.txt Click here to launch table.]

I take this opportunity to hint about the "new style" attachment: (and
comment: ) link introduced in 0.11.
While the above will still work, it proved to be a bit hard to write and
parse, so the alternative notation:

attachment:attachment.1073.diff:ticket:944

i.e.

(prefix):(target):(main_resource_realm):(main_resource_id)

is to be preferred.

That's especially true for comment links, as it's simpler to write
comment:comment_num
and eventually add ticket:ticket_id to that if you're not referring to
the comment from within this ticket itself, rather than having to juggle
with the comment number and throw it at the end...

Now if only someone would update the docs :-P
