There is no generic way of doing that for all email clients, but for Outlook you can use a script (VBS) similar to the one below. JS or Python will be very similar.

set App = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
set Item = App.CreateItem(0)
Item.Subject = "test"
Item.Attachments.Add "c:\temp\test.txt"
