Option 2 should be create a flag on the attachment. If we want to keep the status information this would be the easy way to do it.

See https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0/administering/flags.html
and https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0/using/editing.html#flags

I've already said that I prefer option 1 and why.
