    Hi nok , hello MattiaFratello, thank you for your prompt reply!

     

    Create a new blank query and paste the following M code to meet your requirement:

    let
        SharePointSiteURL = "YourSharePointSiteUrl",
    
        SharePointTenant="https://Yourtenantname.sharepoint.com",
        
        API_URL = SharePointSiteURL & "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('YourListName')/items?$expand=AttachmentFiles",
        
        Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(API_URL, [Headers=[#"Accept"="application/json;odata=nometadata"]])),
        
        ListItems = Source[value],
        
        ExpandedItems = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(Table.FromList(ListItems, Splitter.SplitByNothing()), "Column1", {"ID", "Title", "AttachmentFiles"}),
        
        ExpandedAttachments = Table.ExpandListColumn(ExpandedItems, "AttachmentFiles"),
        
        AttachmentUrls = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(ExpandedAttachments, "AttachmentFiles", {"ServerRelativeUrl"}),
        
        FinalTable = Table.AddColumn(AttachmentUrls, "AttachmentLink", each SharePointTenant & [ServerRelativeUrl], type text),
    
        ResultTable = Table.SelectColumns(FinalTable, {"ID", "Title", "AttachmentLink"})
        
    in
        ResultTable

    Remember to cahnge the siteurltenantname, and listname to your specific values

    After that, format the text in the column as a web URL:

    My sample test for your reference:
