The annotation of attachment links is done automatically once the storage of special property "Attachment link"Holds the links to files embedded on a page was enabled via configuration parameter $smwgPageSpecialPropertiesSets the page related special properties to be used.
It is also possible to expose the attachment links via the factbox which provides an additional tab called "Attachments"3 which will indicate the type of the image (given that information is provided by the `_MIME` type annotation), the last modification date, and whether the file is local or not (likely to indicate a foreign, non-local file).
