So if I'm understanding correctly, in a note if I make a link to a pdf file or other media object I should be able to open that link and see the contents of that media object. If that is a correct understanding it's not working for me. When I make the link and open it from a note it open the media creation/info window that shows info such as: title, id, path, and preview, but doesn't show the preview. I guess I was hoping that this would work in a NAVWeb report so when the note was read the user would be able to click the link and see the object.
