Thanks, -Adrian

On the right side of the text editor in xwiki give you some hints
about the syntax. To create a link to a attachment you can do

       {image:filename.gif} inserts an image 
       {attach:filename.doc} creates a link 

getAttachmentURL() returns the URL which you can use with the 
<a> HTML tag directly.
