Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/RD17/ambar/issues/126

After searching for a PDF document, the next thing I generally want to do is to open it and read it, without necessarily saving it to on my local machine.

However the server returns a Content-disposition header that makes the file to be downloaded instead of being opened in the browser. This can quickly get annoying when browsing through dozens of documents. Since most browsers support inline PDF visualizations, I think it would be nice to directly open the PDF in a new tab.

Maybe there is an option to change this behavior but I could not find it.
