David,

The way I've found to do this is to use nested Radius tags that pass 
information back up to the parent.  However, the page_attachments tags 
are currently not structured to support this.  If they were, it might 
look like this:

<r:attachment:image><r:name>david_piehler.jpg</r:name></r:attachment:image>

Obviously, you would use some of your own tags to generate the name.
