Comment (by dbarlett):

 As of 3.7.1 (possibly earlier), attachments are included in `$pts`, but
 the query only returns objects with `post_status == publish` (attachments
 have `post_status == inherit`). 3.7.0 added the `wp_link_query_args`
 filter, so this works:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'wp_link_query_args', 'my_modify_link_query_args' );

 // Query for all post statuses so attachments are returned
 function my_modify_link_query_args( $query ) {
         $query['post_status'] = 'any';
         return $query;
 }
 }}}
 It has a side effect of showing future, pending, and draft posts. Some
 users consider that a feature, since it lets them build a series of cross-
 linked posts to publish simultaneously. If you want to use direct
 attachment URLs instead of attachment pages, add:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'wp_link_query', 'my_modify_link_query_results' );

 // Link to media file URL instead of attachment page
 function my_modify_link_query_results( $results, $query ) {
         foreach ( $results as &$result ) {
                 if ( 'Media' === $result['info'] ) {
                         $result['permalink'] = wp_get_attachment_url(
 $result['ID'] );
                 }
         }
         return $results;
 }
 }}}
