Can you please document how to link to a pdf file that is stored in _static?

In the documentation I am missing something about how I
can link to a pdf file that is stored in _static.

Could you please add that?

Thanks
Philip

Hmmm - this one feels like it is out-of-scope for the MyST parser docs, since it is more of a base Sphinx question (here are the docs for this: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/roles.html#role-download).

@choldgraf thanks for the answer. The thing is that the linked solution is a rst style solution. But how do I do that with an "inline" link and MyST?

Like this:

{download}`text <_static/reference.pdf>`

Works - thanks!
