Xpages Download control for Client side

Xpages for Client Side: Download Control does not have the option of opening a saved attachment , it always gives the option of saving the attachment and then reopening.Any workaround for this?

The scheme by Mark doesn't work in XPiNC ( which I think is what Client Side meant in the question ), however, Mark has since come up with another scheme which he mentioned to me and it works.

If you use a url link to open a classic notes document ( i.e. not xpages ) with the launch property open first attachment set then the attachment will be launched immediately - it works really well.

I will write something up and put it on my blog then add a link here. If you had more than one attachment you might need to construct a temporary document with just the attachment you wanted.

I haven't found a way to let users directly open files using the standard download control, but as a workaround you could create links to the files using the (old school) syntax:

/<yourdb.nsf>/0/<document-unid>/$file/<filename>

This won't add the content-disposition header that causes the file download dialog.
