At the moment of clicking on the link, it takes me to the item in the sharepoint list, i want only the file to be downloaded automatically without opening my sharepoint list, only the attachment not the item.

    You can't really do that easily in PowerApps with a list because a list might contain 0, 1 or more attachments. If you want to download the one attachement when you click on the listitem you would be better off creating a document library.  That's the way libraries work.  The only way to do the kind of thing you want is to retrieve the attachments paths collection and put it in a gallery in some way. Then you could click on an individual attachment.  But clicking on a list will always open the list, because PowerApps wouldn't know what to do in the case where there was no attachment or there were multiple attachments.

    and there is only way to put the link of the file of the sharepoint list, without opening the whole item, only the column that includes the file?

    As I said, you don't know whether there is one file, multiple files or no file attached to the list item.  So you have to access the listitem to get at the Attachments column that contains links to one or more files to open the files.
