That's a piece of cake.  Something like this should work:

sub filter {
    my($entity, $fname, $ext, $type) = @_;

    $type =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;

    if ($type ne "text/plain") {
        return action_replace_with_url($entity,
				"/var/web/where/your/html/files/live",
				"http://host.domain.com/base_url",
				"The part is accessible at _URL_");
    }

    return action_accept();
}

See action_replace_with_url in the mimedefang-filter man page.
You'll want a cron job to delete old attachments which have been
URL'ized.
