Is it possible for the "same" file to be attached to multiple work item?

You do not have to attach it. You can reference it in the description or comment or Summary.
Example File was attached to a "Work Item 1502" and it was given an ID 2
You can reference it in another "Work Item 1503" in the comment or description as
example adding a comment to WI
Adding it to another WorkItem

Thanks for your reply. But as they say, this is a correct answer, but not the correct answer I want :-).
Unfortunately, the work items are not always for human consumption and the files (generic instructions, generic config etc) attachments must be present. The scripts etc will be "downloading" the attachments along with other artefacts like build results to machines that do not have RTC clients installed
Can you be specific ?
How you are reading the attachments from the scripts from a single Work Item?
