 * Hi,
 * I created a shortcode with only “download” functionality. But in the loaded file
   manager there is also the “open” functionality, that I would like to disable;
   even for the double-click on files I’d like to do a direct download without opening
   file in a new tab.
 * Is there the possibility to do so? Or if this is not possible can I hide the 
   file url in some way?
 * Thanks in advance for help!
 * Best regards
