(defun org-att-complete-link (&optional arg)
    "Completion dispatcher for att: links (rewritten from org-attach-open)"
    (let* ((attach-dir (expand-file-name org-attach-directory org-directory))
               (file-paths (directory-files-recursively attach-dir ".*"))
           (completions (mapcar (lambda (f)
                                  (cons (file-name-base f) f))
                                file-paths))
               (file-name (completing-read "att: " completions nil t))
               (path (assoc-default file-name completions)))
      (concat "att:" path)))
#+end_src

This worked for me. I had to change it a bit for my use case. Thanks a
lot for the help! :)
