Access to attachments of electronic messages and information associated with the electronic messages to applications external to a messaging application is provided. A message including an attachment is received via a messaging application, and a relationship connecting the message to the attachment is stored in a graph database. When a request is made to display a file list, an API is used to interact with the graph database. Attachments that meet a criterion associated with the file list and associated metadata are included in the list. Responsive to a selection to open an attachment, a productivity application communicates with the messaging application to retrieve the attachment and associated messages, and displays the attachment in a content display region and associated messages and messaging application functionalities in a communications pane in a single productivity application user interface.
