{ M-x customize-variable RET org-file-apps RET }

opens my customization of variable org-file-apps which has the entry:

Hide Org File Apps:
INS DEL Cons-cell:
            Choice: Value Menu Extension: \.gif\'
            Choice: Value Menu Function: (lambda (file link) (let ((my-image 
(create-image file)) (tmpbuf (get-buffer-create "*gif"))) (switch-to-buffer 
tmpbuf) (erase-buffer) (insert-image my-image) (image-animate my-image nil t)))

AFAICS with this setting a press of RET on a gif with animation in an
Org file opens an extra buffer that shows the animation.
