Comment (by goldenapples):

 I agree a filter is much better than adding a new option. I would like to
 see it default to "link to file", though, whatever the
 `image_default_link_type` setting is. Would this break much current usage?

 I'm trying to brainstorm mainstream cases where people might want to link
 non-image media to an attachment page, and I can't think of any offhand.
 Maybe podcasting? I'm not sure. In any case, I think the hassle caused to
 the everyday site owner who has to remember to check an additional box
 when inserting pdfs or .zip downloads into post content could be
 alleviated by treating media and image links separately.
