Description
When an author or learner clicks the "Download Video" button in the Video XBlock, the resulting behavior is inconsistent. Some videos download directly, while others remain in the same tab, and some redirect the user to a new page within the same tab.
Currently, when users click on a video file hosted outside of the edX platform, it opens in the same tab, disrupting the user experience. To improve consistency and usability, we propose modifying the behavior so that clicking the "Download Video" button always opens the video in a new tab, regardless of the hosting origin.
