No, this is not the same operation.
dot is a separator for type ( metadata  in this case ) which is part of an
object.
colon is a separator for type  which is not part of an object , but
an object reffers to.

An object 'attachment' property should be reserved word in schema, or QB should
use "black magic" to define what you were thinking about?
Object's attachment property or object's attachment (blob) ?
