Comment (by jeremyclarke):

 "Attachment post" is the more accurate form of that, as they are indeed
 'posts' but they are 'pages' only in the most general "web page" sense of
 the word.

 The most informative label would be "Attachment post URL" which IMHO
 should actually be enough for people who didn't know about Attachment URLs
 to figure out that they exist. Unfortunately it is really verbose to have
 as text on that particular button (right?).

 This leads me back to "Attachment" as a somewhat-vague but still accurate
 and useful label.

 Maybe "Attachment post URL" is the right way to go. It takes up space but
 it could be worth it in the name of educating people. In terms of
 horizontal space there is lots available.

 I'll be sure to follow the UI discussion on the topic :)
