not yet. AFAIK there is a review from Felix pending that's implementing 
a "getFirst" method in objectStorages which should actually allow what 
you currently try.

But until this is implemented I'd suggest to do one of the following:

a) simply loop over the "anhaenge"
b) add a method "getFirstAttachment" to your "currentObject"s domain 
model that's doing the work for you
c) write a little viewHelper that's able to do what you need

c) would be my favorite because it's most flexible and can be reused for 
other relations.
