What file type were you testing? You can't always view all files in the
browser, e.g. text processing documents. So there would need to be a
rule, e.g. open PDF in a new browser window with PDF.JS (I think that's
what Firefox uses), but that I think may effectively still download it
already.

For images, we could show a preview like we do in the 'Files' area, but
other file types would need to be downloaded. A better option would be
if the files were put ontp a Mahara page and embedded where possible.
