That is a valid use case, but I do not think that is possible.
Attachments are an Org only feature, meaning it is not meant for export.
That said, it should be possible to use a custom function to "get" the
attachments and add it to the end of the exported document using a hook;
try this one: `org-export-before-parsing-hook'.
To get an idea how to get the files, take a look at org-attach-open in
org-attach.el. Once you have the filenames, just insert inline links at
the end of the buffer:
* Attachments
[[./path/to/attachment1]]
[[./path/to/attachment2]]
This should solve your request.
Hope this helps,
