View All Attachments from sc_task and sc_req_item and vice versa

[mythNOW]

Hello ServiceNow,

I am having trouble configuring a relationship (sys_relationship.list) to fulfill the following requirements.

Any attachments submitted/uploaded to the RITM should also be visible on all SCTASKS.

And vice-versa, any attachments uploaded on a SCTASK should also be visible on the RITM.

I do not want to copy attachments as this will bloat our instance. I just need a solution that ensure all attachments associated to the RITM is visible on SCTASK and RITM.  

Thank you everyone.

Instead of giving you the code that would only address the specific RITM/SCTASK use case, I would rather refer you to @Jim Coyne's blog post where he describes a comprehensive and scalable solution for displaying attachments from related records.
