Please add a viewUrl to the attachment field

In Domino Leap's App Page, there is no way to use JavaScript to retrieve the view URL (viewUrl) for an attachment from the value of an attachment field.

While the viewUrl is provided when an attachment is displayed in the data grid,
if the same attachment field is referenced from JavaScript,
the URL is not included, and developers must construct the URL manually.

Furthermore, since part of the URL is app-specific
and the URL generation functions provided by Leap cannot be used,
developers have no choice but to hardcode that portion of the URL.

This results in poor maintainability and causes issues when cloning or migrating apps.

We would like you to add a viewUrl (or equivalent URL property) to attachment fields, just as you have for data grids.

you can already achieve this by using JavaScript. The following code is completly save for cloning/migrating apps, as the variable parts (base URL and app UID) get set at runtime to the correct values

// start with the URL under which Leap is run
let url = app.getProductBaseURL();
// gets the current app UID; note that this line starts with /secure, which allows logged in users. change to /anon for anonymous usage
url	+= "/secure/org/data/" + app.getUID();
// the last part defines which form the attachment is from; you need to append the uid of the attachment
url	+= "/F_Form1/attachment/" + BO.F_Attachment.getValue().uid;
