When you edit the page you can select 'connections' from the webpart 'context' menu. Use this to connect web parts to the 'master' webpart (in your case list view A) or a filter web part More info here: [this video] [LINK]

Instead of using query string filters I would suggest to use out-of-the-box webpart connections. A short tutorial you will find in this video: [this video] In your case the connections should be something like this: Provider Field: Contract No (Contract Webpart) Consumer Field: Contract No (Contract Attachement Webpart) You just need to make sure that the 'Contract No' field for the library items is correctly set.

I am trying to connect two webparts together in SP 2013. This guy has a youtube video [this video] on this. However, I can't seem to find the connection link. Are webpart connections available in SharePoint 2013? If so, what am I missing?
