PDFs do not preview and instead try to open a page when in Edit mode.

[nathan-hildebrandt]

Problem Statement

When editing a page, if your content contains links to a PDF file, the link while in edit mode will attempt to open the pdf link as if it were a page, instead of opening the PDF file.

Steps to Reproduce

pdfpreview.mp4

Acceptance Criteria

I think a click intercept to maybe open a new tab with the PDF file would be the best case scenario, this way it doesn't navigate the user away from the page, but shows that their link is working without having to copy the url and open the page on another tab.
