## Description

### Steps to reproduce

<br>

1.  Login as a user with permissions to edit work packages
    
2.  Open a work package, add upload a file using the _files_ tab
    
3.  Click into the work package description
    
4.  Try to link to the just added file, using the `Attachment by filename` macro described in the documentation here: [https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/wysiwyg/#links-to-openproject-resources](https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/wysiwyg/#links-to-openproject-resources)  
    `attachment:filename.zip`
    

### What is the buggy behavior?

<br>

*   I seems like it is not possible to refer to attachments with this macro anymore
    

### What is the expected behavior?

<br>

1.  Where macros can be used, this one works as described in the documentation
    

### **Logs**
