Use field as an option in the attachment section of a Email tool

I just got out of the Advanced reporting session at the Alteryx inspire convention. Preety cool stuff. I just have a request for the alteryx developers team. Can you please add the option to select a report coming from a Render tool directly as an attachment without having to write it out first? Just select it as a field the same way you can select a field as the body of the email. That'll make my workflow more streamlined and save space, as I'm sure it'll do for a lot of fulks out there.

This is a great idea back from 2019 - that i think is still very much needed, rather than using a block until done, writing the attachment to a location, and then attaching it to an email. 

 

Bumping for visibility - It would be beneficial to work the exact same as adding a body.

It would be great if basic ANSI SQL functions like substring(str, start, end) and the split become available in Alteryx expressions
