Sure, here is a very basic example which mainly just goes by the
extension in the URL to handle some common filetypes. I suppose that for
more complex links in which the filetype can't be parsed like this, you
could curl the link into the 'file' command to determine the type:
curl -s "https://example.com/filename" | file -
But that's overkill for my needs. 
There are many ways to improve on this, but hopefully it at
least illustrates the concept.

$image "$file"

# pdf
if echo $1 | tail -c -5 | grep pdf
then dl "$1"
$pdf "$file"
