In VSTS attachment can be uploaded for workitems. Those attachments are displayed in a seperate tab.
I found no way to reference those attachments from within the description of the workitems.
So how to do it?

I did not find another way yet and maybe it is not so logical :). But as workaround you may download an attachment from work item. Then you may copy a download link from your browser download page and use it on description field.
A workaround that I found to this which shows a selected text within the comment as clickable and opens the attachment if you click on it is:
This is amazing that AzureDevops does not have this ability. It's disappointing and makes working with the product so much more difficult. I really cannot imagine how they use this product internally.
You could inspect the attachment url in chromedev tools, then copy the url, the element will look like
<div class="grid-cell-contents-container">
<span class="attachment-icon bowtie-icon bowtie-file-content"></span>
<a href="/link.filetype&download=true&api-version=5.0-preview.2" tabindex="-1">filename.filetype</a>
Then just remove the &api-version=5.0-preview.2
part at the end
Come on Microsoft! You're better than this.
This would appear to be the least "hacky" way, as it relies entirely on the Azure DevOps UI:
It is now possible maybe. Goto attachments and click on list view List view of attachments of a workitem
Then just left-click on the file of your choice and drag it
