This sounds like you're doing something wrong. What are you attempting?

@Jiralite. Imagine a downloadLink on AWS, can be any filetype. Below code works great for images, but for nothing else. On the discord.js Discord channel I was told that other file types are not supported, hence my feature request:

if (downloadLink !== null) {
            const file = new AttachmentBuilder(downloadLink);
            const embed = {
                title: messageMedia[0]['name'],
                image: {
                    url: 'attachment://' + messageMedia[0]['name'],
                },
            };
            sendMessage(discordBots[token], bodyText, messageId, channelId, embed, file);
        }
        else {
            console.log('DownloadLink is missing')
        }

async function sendMessage(discordBot: any, messageText: any, messageId: any, channelId: string, embed: any, file: any) {

    const channel = discordBot.channels.cache.get(channelId);
    try {
        const webhooks = await channel.fetchWebhooks();
        const webhook = webhooks.find(wh => wh.token);

        if (!webhook) {
            return console.log('No webhook was found that I can use!');
        }

        if (embed !== null && file !== null) {
            await webhook.send({
                content: messageText,
                embeds: [embed],
                files: [file]
            });
        }
        else {
            await webhook.send({
                content: messageText,
            });
        }

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error trying to send a message: ', error);
    }

Because you try to set it as image in an embed. You can only set images as image in embed. You can attach files of any kind though.

Thanks @Qjuh , got it to work by removing the embed and only pushing the file in the message!
