queryAttachment
This API call returns an array of dictionaries representing Attachment objects matching the specified filter. The filter is specified in sqlite where clause format, and is applied to objects in the Attachment table only. For example "(ParentId = '001234567891234')" will return all Attachments where the ParentId field is set to 001234567891234. This method will return URLs to a cached version of the Attachment file, but will not return the file data directly as in readAttachment.
Important returned fields:
FileURL– local URL to the attachment fileThumbURL– local URL to the attachment thumbnail file (empty string if attachment is not an image)
