 parent of an attachment to attach it to a different post."

 The ticket description on #6820 is misleading. The patch attached there
 deals directly with adding Attach and Detach links and nothing more. I've
 updated the description, and this ticket is a duplicate.

 > And the plugin you refer to forces you to go to the Media Library to
 unattach the media. That's unintuitive and buggy at best.
 >
 > All I'm saying is that the default behavior when deleting a Media
 attachment, is that it should unattach from that Post/Page.

 Please raise any UX concerns in the other ticket.

 Also, it's important to recognize the difference in terminology between
 "remove" and "delete". I think what you're referring to is that the
 default for "removing" an image from a post/page gallery should be to
 detach it.

 Re-closing as a duplicate.
