 I think this should be in core:

 This feature is necessary for:
 Allowing people who write posts to select media from existing media
 without inserting it.
 inserting a gallery instead of multiple images to a post.
 Creating a gallery for a post where some/all of the media files are
 already in the media manager.
 Where the gallery is automatically displayed with/in the post by insertion
 through template.
 For people who are in charge of selecting correct photos for posts.

 example:
 If I have 420 pictures in media manager already
 and I have 42 posts
 and I make a new post #43
 so, when I'm in post #43 editing it and I want to "attach" pictures 45 236
 346 374 484 344 347 and 234 (8 pictures)
 I can't actually do that.
 I need to INSERT them all then remove the code inside the post.


 This plugin does not solve (or work) with WP3.3B3 (Nov 17) this problem.
 File Un-Attach
 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/file-un-attach/

 Looking for a solution which has set of checkboxes in the media list
 then able to select "ATTACH (not insert) all selected items to current
 post"

 This plugin does what I am looking for.
