How to send attachments with Sys ID to remote instance

We have changed the Description field to an HTML field so that we can include pictures in the field.

We send incidents to a remote instance using the Remote Instance spoke of Integration Hub.

As part of the integration with remote instance, we send attachments from the incident.

If we include a picture in the Description field, and send the Description value to the remote instance, the value includes the sys_id of the attachment in the local instance.

When we send the attachment to the remote instance using the action Copy Attachment to Remote Instance, the remote instance assigns a sys_id to the attachment.

Result is that the picture does not appear in the Description field in the remote instance because the local sys_id in the Description field value referring to the attachment is not the same sys_id value as the attachment in the remote instance.

So, how can we send the local sys_id with the attachment when I copy it to the remote instance, so that the attachment is displayed correctly in the Description field in the remote instance.

(Instances are Utah or later)

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am running into a similar issue.
