Subject: [PATCH] Part: fix Part_EditAttachment nesting handling (#26298)

* Part: fix Part_EditAttachment nesting handling

Fixes #26264.

The previous 'fix' (#25887) did not consider that the object to-be-attached may not be in the global space.

The code in this PR has been tested on the forum:
https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=862968#p862968

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
