How to get UUID of RQM attachment via api?
I am creating a java script that uploads attachments to rqm via the rest api they links them to a test result via a hyperlink in the Result Details section.
However I don't want the attachments to download when the link is clicked just open in a new tab. Whenever I make the hyperlink point to the slug url i.e. (https://server/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/_joxs8Aq1Ee6FEOrz8syiKw/attachment/slug__OlO_IBaREe6L3J8gDdaoJg) or (https://server/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/_joxs8Aq1Ee6FEOrz8syiKw/attachment/urn:com.ibm.rqm:attachment:71) returned from the POST request it downloads instead of opening in a new window.
If I manually paste the link from the attachments page i.e. (https://server/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.planning.service.internal.rest.IAttachmentRestService/_OlYwIBaREe6L3J8gDdaoJg) then it does open in a new tab without downloading. I can't seem to access this id programmatically so I can add the link to the test result without it downloading automatically.

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER It is pretty obvious, that the links are for two totally different services. The link from the attachments page belongs to an internal API - as you can see from the internal in service/com.ibm.rqm.planning.service.internal.rest.IAttachmentRestService
To get the UUID of any object would require to do a GET, using the URI provided by the POST (likely in the location header). Then find the UUID e.g. in the URI of the element.
How the link you get behaves is a completely different question and it would be up to you to implement a behavior you want as well.

When I do a GET it looks like below is it not possible to get the uuid from the POST url
<ns2:projectArea href="link" alias="RQM+Test+Project"/>
<ns4:identifier>url/urn:com.ibm.rqm:attachment:77</ns4:identifier>
<ns2:webId>77</ns2:webId>
<ns4:title> name.pdf</ns4:title>
