Is there any way to create a new Tiddler that contains an external embedded PDF?

I'd like to include some eBooks as Tiddlers, without having to bloat the .html file by making binary imports of heavy pdf files.

I seems I cannot even create an external relative file link (Windows), maybe I'm writing it incorrectly? The only thing that happens when I click the link is a window of "My computer"...





For the record, I'm using TiddlyDesktop.

See https://tiddlywiki.com/#How%20to%20embed%20PDF%20and%20other%20documents

The section on _canonical_uri is most relevant.

In your example, try changing the \ to a / .

Good luck!
