content types / file associations for document files such as pdf, spreadsheets

Hello,

Use case: I want to quickly view a document included in a gitlab project.

You can do it by cloning the project and viewing the file locally, or by downloading the file from gitlab and open it afterwards.

It would be great if you could just click on the document file and have it displayed by gitlab or the browser. The types of of these documents would be pdf, html, and office-like.

I think setting the appropriate content-type on the document should be enough, e.g. for a pdf to be opened by the registered pdf viewer [the javascript-based embedded one for firefox for instance].

Regards, Karl
