Attachment Links
 https://drupal.org/project/attachment_links



The Attachment Links module provides permanent links to files
attached to a node. A single, easy-to-remember URL can be used to
retrieve the preferred (canonical) or newest version of a file
regardless of how many versions of that file have been attached
to a node.


Typically, users will want to create a "File" content type and
enable the Attachment Links module for that content type. Each
"File" node should refer to a single file: "Handbook," "Company
logo," "Team roster," etc. Though each node could contain
multiple versions of the file, Attachment Link provides permanent
link to access the preferred or newest versions.
