Need to create a column in sharepoint that has attachments

Question

I have created the below list in sharepoint with attachments enabled. When i add a new item I see the attachment option but I dont see a column for it.

enter image description here

And I want to sent an email to the approver to approve along with the file attachment that was added while creating the item. I added the link item and the item link decription dynamically as in the pic below. But it sends the whole list item instead of the document alone. So when the link is clicked the complete list items are displayed along with the attachment. I then have to click the attachment and then it will take me to the file. But I want the link to take me directly to the file.

enter image description here

I checked youtube videos and they have the beginning column as a document file column with a document icon with upload option on the top. But I dont find any upload option in my sharepoint. The below image was taken fro a youtube video which has upload option

enter image description here

I have made certain column inputs mandatory while adding a new item. Will that make a difference?
