[ARCHIVED] How do I get files to upload in a separate tab/window or to download outside of the web browser?

Hello-

I am sending a timed quiz to an individual student. She will need to use documents to write an essay, so she will need to be looking at the documents throughout the essay writing process. When I try to open the PDF file within the quiz, it opens the file in the same tab as the Canvas quiz. This is an issue since the quiz is timed. I know I can have students right click on the file and have them open it in another tab/window,  but is there a way to set it so it automatically opens files in a new tab instead of closing down the Canvas page? 

Thanks!
