Details

We need an API to detach and/or delete attachments.

It should be possible to do this as a bulk operation.

An additional permission may be necessary.

This API would be necessary for add-ons like "AttachmentExtractor" / "AttachmentExtractor Continued".

Any interesst in providing the necessary API? Maybe I'm wrong and no additional API is necessary?
