I have an object that contains a database record that has a FileField which points to a .pdf, .txt or .doc or .docx.

In my django template i want to create a link which when clicked opens the file, in the machines default tool for opening that file, How do i do this?

I currently have:

<a href="#">{{ object.file.name }}</a>

I would like to click this link and have the document opened.

`{{ object.file.url }}` will give you the URL to the file. – solarissmoke Sep 22 '18 at 05:23
