When one puts a PDF file into a Git repository, and opens that page, then Gitlab renders a preview of that PDF. However that preview is way inferior to having the same PDF displayed in the browser directly -- it doesn't even support copying text. It should be possible somehow to display the PDF using the browser's PDF viewer rather than Gitlab's.

I know I can click the "download" button, but that will, well, download the PDF. I don't want to download it. That just creates some junk files it my Downloads folder that I have to clean up manually later. I just want to display it online, using the browser's PDF viewer.
