It seems that other people expect it to be default [1]. Also, I am using
org-attach heavily in my workflows. Most of the time I found myself
inserting the link to attachment right after attaching a file. Finally,
it do not see any drawback adding the link to history vs not adding.

I personally would prefer 'attached as a default, but it is mostly
because I use org-attach already and attach: link would be shorter.
Probably, 'file as default is safer if the user changes the :DIR:
property for some reason.

I will add it to my todo list. This should be lower priority than org-fold.el
