That’s a fair point.

I don't have anything against it, but in OP he also talks about
implementing something similar for ox-$BACKEND output... Which doesn’t
seem like a bad request. Why should org-attachment support git-annex
other parts of Org not? But I don’t think we want to support annexed
files in general. (What about LFS’ed files? Assuming a similar feature
exists)
Perhaps I’m abstracting too much here.
