The auto-linking filter is very convenient, but clicking these links when the activity it's linking to is a File will go to the File's page (image below) not directly to the actual file, which is an unecessary and confusing page which I don't want to have to send a student to ever.
How can I make these auto-links open the link directly in a new page/tab?
Will I have to edit the Filter code directly or is there a simpler way?
The auto-linking will probably not be used to link to anything other than Files either, so it wouldn't matter if it changes the auto-linking to other non-file activities.
Thanks
