Just had to capture the download request signal and accept it. However python files to not seem to actually download. Also our implementatin of QtWebEngine makes the download so silent the use thinks nothing is happening so added a logging.warning to force the log explorer open and a message generated

Note this does not enable the tutorials to be loaded into the viewer. They are still html programmed as forced downloaded somewhere in the build system

This now will render PDF links rather than downloading, as long as the html code does not force a download. The current build system/sphinx system are in fact coding the html for forced downloads.

Whether viewing before downloading is preferable is also a question given that downloading from the viewer is not obvious (requires the context sensitive right click menu).
