Inline PDF does not work for me on desktop either.

I’m partially successful displaying PDFs inline when adding them to `FileHelper.inline_images`

But then a parameter “inline=1” is needed:

This could be added in some theme-component ([Inline PDF Previews](https://meta.discourse.org/t/inline-pdf-previews/157649)).

I would like to learn a clean way to switch discourse to serve PDFs with `content-disposition: inline` using a plugin or a [configuration option](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-configuration-option-to-serve-local-pdf-uploads-inline/257040).
