Linking to Rise HTML module

Hi,

We are just starting out with Canvas, transitioning from Blackboard over the next year. I have a series of Articulate Rise modules that I have uploaded to the Canvas files area. I have set them so that they are only accessible to students with the link. So far so good. However, when I place a link to the Index.html file in a Canvas page, Canvas treats it as a file that should be downloaded. It opens, but with a banner at the top  - like a file preview. I don't want to lose that much screen space and the message to students that they can download the file or get alternative formats is confusing (and pointless).

I have also tried embedding the files within a Canvas page. That also works, but even more screen space is lost as the course tools menus as present on the left (even minimised they take up space). Is there a way to force Canvas to treat an internal link the same as it would an external one? I don't have this issue with Blackboard, which makes me kind of nostalgic.

Thanks in advance
