If you want to insert a link to a file at a specific point in a post, Discourse will do that [correctly](https://meta.discourse.org/t/placing-of-attachments-images-where-cursor-is/8797/6). The only, and minor, problem is that the cursor will be placed at the end of the text, and the viewport may or may not be scrolled down. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/9/191acf7465897a0d8b7d89c240d742dbaf153d6e.gif) Similar to > [@Inserting an HR in the editor should scroll the viewport to the new cursor position](https://meta.discourse.org/t/inserting-an-hr-in-the-editor-should-scroll-the-cursor-past-it/26011): > > UPDATE: The text field’s viewport is not being scrolled to include the new cursor position. ---
