First, I started writing my own plugin. I wanted to add this “reference info” to“
attachment-info”, but it’s impossible because it’s hardcoded into WP core (“wp_print_media_templates()”).
I searched for some code/solution where I would learn how to add this information
to “attachment-info” (instead of the edit form), and I found this plugin. Yes, this
plugin adds this information to the edit form (“attachment_fields_to_edit” action),
because it seems like in WP we don’t have any path to affect “attachment-info”. 
In my test cases, it is fast enough. I don’t understand why attachments don’t have
a classic reference table with foreign keys in WP core. This plugin solves this 
bad/sad functionality in WP core. Thanks a lot, Konstantin!

It works out of the box. The link to the used widgets is a great gimmick, especially
when you have a lot of widgets 🙂
