Description

I have perhaps seventy or so github-related repositories and I've found that I may—in each case—create a dummy issue called "Placeholder for README.md images" for the purpose of attaching screenshots of the project in question. Github then dutifully hosts the graphic as an attachment with a URL which ends in the appropriate file extension.

Example README.md on github
Example Issue on github for storing screenshots
Example MarkDown code for referencing a screenshot within that system:

Request

It would be awesome if Gitea's Issues code could serve up these attachments in a similar fashion so that I could leave github.

Make sure that attachments are referenced in such a way that the file extension is preserved
Make sure that there's a URL path which may fetch that attachment
