Allowing post attachments without allowing to insert in text

1. One way to do this would be to simply hide the upload/insert media button: and, then add featured image support for your themes posts, so a user can still attach images to the post.

   Hide upload/insert media button for your theme in: functions.php:

   function hideUploadInsert($hook)
   {
       if($hook != 'post.php' AND $hook != 'post-new.php')
           return; // if not in the edit or new admin pages, for Posts or Pages, then do nothing.
       echo '<style type="text/css" media="screen">
           #wp-content-media-buttons {
               display: none;
           }
   </style>';
   }
   add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'hideUploadInsert');
   

   Add featured image support to your themes posts in: functions.php

   add_theme_support('post-thumbnails', array( 'post' ));

   EDIT:

   I didn’t realize you were referring to attaching multiple images to a post. You could just use the css I gave above to hide the button for inserting images into a post: and, then use one of the plugins that come up in a google search for attaching multiple featured images to a post:

2. Maybe the following works:

   add_filter( 'type_url_form_media', '__return_null' );
   

   Anyway: The function is already deprecated and the whole UI will likely be reworked with 3.5 or 3.6, so this solution might not work for too long.
