Is it possible to add an image to a description which works as a link to an attachement

[Simon Fink]

I wonder if it is somehow possible to add an image to the description and when clicking on it, it works as a link to a file attached to the issue.

The use case is to mimic the behaviour of Requirement documents in Doors or similar, where for example a *.docx file can be added to a descriptive field, but instead an image is shown for preview acting as a link to the actual document.

I am aware of the possibilities to add pictures with

!somepicture.png|thumbnail!

and to add file links with

 [^somefile.docx]

The piece I think you're missing is how to make links in markup:

[some alias|some URL]

Stringing it all together...

[!some image!|^attachment.ext]

For 'some image' I was able to use either an image URL or an attached image.

Thank you for putting the pieces together! This works as expected.
