-The attachment plugin's Insert Links button currently only knows
-how to insert plain wikilinks and img directives (for images).
-
-[[wishlist]]: Generalize this, so a plugin can cause arbitrary text
-to be inserted for a particular file. --[[Joey]] 
-
-Design:
-
-Add an insertlinks hook. Each plugin using the hook would be called,
-and passed the filename of the attachment. If it knows how to handle
-the file type, it returns a the text that should be inserted on the page.
-If not, it returns undef, and the next plugin is tried.
-
-This would mean writing plugins in order to handle links for 
-special kinds of attachments. To avoid that for simple stuff,
-a fallback plugin could run last and look for a template
-named like `templates/embed_$extension`, and insert a directive like:
-
-	\[[!template id=embed_vp8 file=my_movie.vp8]]
-
-Then to handle a new file type, a user could just make a template
-that expands to some relevant html. In the example above,
-`templates/embed_vp8` could make a html5 video tag, possibly with some
-flash fallback code even.
