I hyperlinked a document in a table and want something else

#1

I hyperlinked a document URL to a row in a table. In sandbox view every time I click on the hyperlink it downloads the file. Is it possible that if someone clicks on it the file is downloaded and views itself in a new tab of the browser instead of just downloading?

#2

What happens when you hit that link directly in browser (not from Dundas)? Does it open the document in view mode or download it?

#3

It downloads the file directly
.

#4

I think this sort of behaviour is dependant on the browser/computer settings, and not on the webpage.

#5

So this can not be done using Dundas?

#6

Can you try with a different browser or on another machine?

#7

same result tried with a different machine and browser. the file is downloaded by the browser.

I believe this might also depend on how the link was created for the server delivering the file. I am not sure if that behavior can be overridden by changing browser settings. Even if it can be done, it will be that browser specific - not for all the users navigating to the link from their systems. You can use the link in a word document and test what happens.

Even in the word file the action is same.

Actually, it should be the same because any way it opens the browser. But I guess it depends on the link itself and as suggested, you can try changing browser settings.
