Download link opens Windows Store and fails to download

See original GitHub issue

From @paulio on August 8, 2018 15:19

Create an embedded text document launches the Windows Store rather than download the file

var contentType = "text/plain";
var attachment = new Attachment
{
    Name = "Transcript.txt",
    ContentUrl = $"data:{contentType};base64,{Convert.ToBase64String(bytes)}",
    ContentType = contentType
};

Got a workaround for this working:

The only issue is that the title of the download window is set to whatever the href is, which is the data url, so visually it doesn’t look amazing.

===

Suggestions for fixing the window title welcome.

Basically the workaround is after intercepting the click inside of hyperlinkHandler.ts, if it is a data url, I programatically create an <a> element with the href set to the data url and the download attribute and issue a click on it.

I’ve tried messing with target, id, and name attributes to change the name of the download window,
