Use case or problem
I have pdf files stored in my vault that I prefer to view through a dedicated pdf app.
Currently if I want to quickly open a pdf I open it via quick switcher, and then use the menu to open in default app.
I’d also like to be able to do it without relying on an additional plugin for it
Proposed solution
Having a dedicated shortcut for opening non-MD files via their dedicated apps through the quick switcher should speed up workflow for others as well.
Since “Show attachment” is a toggle in the settings, this could be tied to it, or made separate.
Current workaround (optional)
No real workarounds, but this what I usually do
- Quickswitcher → Open file in new tab → Menu → Open in default app → Close tab
OR
- If a specific note is always used in conjunction with a file I’d have it linked near the top
Right click link → Open in default app

Unlike the above request, mine should benefit all file types
