[TW5] How to Link PDF in Local Drives and External URL

[James]

Hi,

May i know how to link pdf files, in my local drive and external URL, in TW5?

I have tried the following ways, using external images, but it doesn't work.

Hello

I personally use external links 

[ext[Link|document/file.pdf]] for files with a relative path

orI I use the full URL

[ext[Link|file:///C:/Document/file.pdf]]

Hello.

you can use Iframes like this


<iframe src="

file:///

" width="640" height="480"></iframe>

for local files  .txt .html .pdf  and also videos with .mp4

adjusting the width and highth to your needs.

external web sites can also be in your tiddler

other  local tiddly wikis too.

Although you cannot edit external files you can edit files within other tiddly wikis.

they can be directly accessed with permalinks.

you can also embed youtube videos.

for example

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i3Bggkm7paA?list=PLVT_2PPd-1p1LKTMMgFVxfkM1zicd3f7p" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

In tiddlywiki classic there is a very handy plugin that autmatically opens links
in the tiddler.  It is called

FramedLinksPlugin

Description    clicking an external link opens an IFRAME following the link instead of opening a new tab/window
This plugin causes clicks on external links to be rendered as inline frames (IFRAMEs) instead of opening new browser tabs/windows.

Feature Request:

Could a similar plugin or similar functionality be developed for TW5?

cheers
