Opening attachment into a new tab instead of downloading

I'm not sure about this file attachment field property. Please advise if anyone has any idea. Thank you!

It is a setting on your local computer as to how the browser handles file attachments.  It may take some googling on your part, but for example if you click on a file attachment of type pdf, you may want to have your computer always open it up using Acrobat Reader.  If you click a file of type xlsx, then you may want your computer to always open that with Excel. 

On my Mac running Chrome, when I right click on the downloaded file in the footer area of my Chrome, it gives me a choice as to what to "always"s do with that file type.

We created a formula url button that sits on our reports that uses google doc viewer and it opens in a pop up widnow with the document.  Doesn't work on very document type, but works on most

var text filefid = "attachment field id";
var text docurl = URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid () & "/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "/e" & $filefid & "/v0";

"https://docs.google.com/gview?url=" & URLEncode( $docurl )
