Quickpress upload photo bug

I’m building a custom archive page that queries the database for the attached images to each post. However any posts that I’ve created using Quickpress widget on the dashboard page don’t “attach” the images to the post in the database. Sure the photos are uploaded and inserted into the body of a Quickpress post properly. But when I visit the media library none of these images are actually “attached” to the posts they appear in, and hence don’t show up on the custom archive page I’m building.

Is there a hack/workaround for making the Quickpress uploader behave like the one in the regular create a post uploader? thanks.
