That's starting to sound pretty good.

It might make sense to fix up inserted "file:" links that are under the attachment directory to be "attachment:" style links by default anyway, no?

Then just being able to set the working directory to the attachment directory easily would get the rest of the way there.

So I suppose that would then mean having the :dir header accept the symbol `attach' or something like that?

I'll play around and see what that looks like.

Makes sense. Currently, there is :dir header arg to set working
directory (aka input files directory). Maybe we can introduce something
like :results-dir header arg to set the output directory? It's value can
be a directory path or symbol 'attach.

`:results file :results-dir 'attach` will be equivalent of
`:results file attach` in the patch proposed by Ryan Scott.

WDYT?

Best,
