The short answer how to open a attached Image is:
http://pathToyourDatabase/DatabaseName.nsf/0/DocumentUniversalID/$File/MyImage.jpg
you can create this link with:
var imageurl = facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest().getContextPath() + "/0/" +
/*in my case: viewEntry.getDocument().getUniversalID()*/
+ "/$File/"+ AttachmentName;
placing this link in the src attribute of an <img> or in the url attribute of the <xp:image> tag will dislay this image on your xPage. This example works fine for me but for other Attachments you maby have to add ?OpenElement after the AttachmentName.
Update:
I did a short experiment on this with a pdf file and it worked without the ?OpenElement just use the code to generate the url it should work. Additional you can look @ Link.
