View Office documents

[mikeduglas]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. WebView2 opens remote office documents in a separate independent window: webview21.Navigate('https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/02/file-sample_100kB.docx')

For local documents, if I use SetVirtualHostNameToFolderMapping to map local path to https uri, it opens viewer window for a moment and immediately closes it, then reports a connection error.

Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered

• It would be great to have an accessible from the code viewer for Office documents, like the PDF viewer.
• It would be great to open local office documents (with or without SetVirtualHostNameToFolderMapping usage).

Thanks for the request @mikeduglas - I've added this scenario to our backlog!

Since the behavior is to open a popup window and it ignores the NewWindowRequested event, I think this should be considered a bug.
