Description

First of all Kudos everyone for all the work, this is an impressive piece of an App.

Not sure if this was already requested / Discussed or if I am missing something obvious :

**TL,DR;**

As far as I can tell ( unless I missed something ) - Referencing attachments files or images in comments is a bit lacking. [ e.g. - Comments inline attachments ]

**Longer version.**

When commenting on an issue - many times team members find the need to reference some image / Screenshot or a Document as an inline part of the comment.

Actually - this is how it is usually the case in many systems, and even here in github where one can attach an image ( even simply pasting) SO it is quite easy to demonstrate.

and then continue on commenting
and then attach another image / link to File / Doc

Basically - The Comment WYSIWYG editor can be the same one that is already present in the task description - where one can actually do what is above described and demonstrated here in github editor itself. - and another very helpful small feature would be a dedicated Canonical "link" to an attachment / file / image that would help referencing it in an inline manner also in other tasks ( same like a task link or comment link - an "attachment" link.

This feature is very important in many fields where real world objects engineering is involved ( from Architecture , civil engineering to IOT, Electronics or PCB design ) where referencing real objects in a visual manner be it images, design files, CAD, Tech docs etc. is a must in almost every comment while working on a task - especially when dealing with external supplier / providers / manufacturers and 3rd party teams.

I personally feel that this small feature can help a lot of teams and other market segments that are not strictly code related.
I Myself would be happy to move my team to Huly if only these comments operations would be available. ( we are long time Asana users, and so are a lot of other 3rd party teams collaborators, and AFAIK - this is one of the main reasons )

Thanks again for all the great work
