 * I am wondering if there is any way I could open the document in some sort of 
   viewer once I click on it rather than downloading it to the user’s machine. I
   am a college student working on a project and really enjoy your plugin! I am 
   going through the code and want to figure out a way to just open the file within
   the browser or a third party viewer.
 * Thank you in advance for responding, and hopefully you haven’t already answered
   this question before!
 * * I looked for a while but didn’t see it

 * I must say i’m not confident about this. But if you find a way that works on 
   any OS/Browser without requiring specific add-ons please pull a request here :
