This whole thing does not have to be extracted as one function.  Or it
can and there can be either flags or some callbacks, for example passed
inside xmlopt.  Whatever makes it more readable, nicer etc.  There will
inevitably be numerous ways to approach this and the real work is
figuring out which is the cleaner one.

Of course first figuring out how to approach the above may make it way
easier to then add more of these.

Well yes, but then it can make it hard to find an error if someone wants
to add support for attaching and they use the function, based on the
name it sounds alright and then there is no error, it just does not
work.  It's not that it is bad now, but for the purpose of
future-proofing it is beneficial to handle those cases clearly in some
way.
