Improvement Description Clicking on an artifact uploaded to the forum causes it to download. It would be awesome if it were easy to open on view.qiime2.org.

Current Behavior Clicking a file causes it to download. Copying the URL and pasting into view.qiime2.org produces a TypeError.

Proposed Behavior It would be pleasant to be able to copy and paste a QIIME 2 Forum URL into view.qiime2.org. I believe it would still be advantageous to retain the implicit download from the forum that happens when a file is clicked on (as sometimes that's what you want to do).

This does work as expected (I use it on the daily for forum support), although I remember we have seen some cases where downloading the file prior to viewing caused some issues (I can't quite remember why that is the case, though). But, it would be super cool to make discourse plugin to autogen "Open in q2view" links for qza/qzv attachments!

Ah!!! Okay, that's awesome and agree! I did download the file prior so that would "explain" it :)

Renaming this issue to focus it on the automated linking to q2view from the forum.
