Add attachment on input.fileAsync

[Tyler_Emel]

I would like to prompt the user to upload a file which I would like to add to an attachment field on a record. From what I have read, the file must be uploaded first and I cannot do something like this:

let preview = await input.fileAsync(‘Please upload the new Audio Preview’);
await table.updateRecordAsync(record.id, {“Audio Preview”: preview});

I just wanted to make sure my understanding on this input.fileAsync is correct and how other people have handled this. Is there a way to upload the file and grab the url from where I uploaded it or is it better to just display the record and let the user upload it from the record. Thank you, I really appreciate all the help!
