I have a report that includes a document field.  When the user clicks on it I want a window to pop up with the document displayed.
I know how to display the document - how do I get a window to pop up with a field is clicked?

This behavior is mostly controlled by the browser for security reasons. For most documents (other than PDF files) the file will need to be downloaded and opened with an application on the client. Edge and Firefox provide a prompt to download and save or download and view, whereas Chrome appears to always downloads non-PDF files and the user must open as a separate step; the exception to this is PDF files which will open in a new tab or window based on the user's preferences.
