How do I create a link/button to open non-PDF file attachments?

I have a PDF with file attachments of several different file types. The attachments need to open from a button or link click. This is easily done with attached PDFs, but I also need to open XLS, DOCX, and PPT files. There is not an obvious way to make a button or link do this. Is there a JavaScript action that could achieve what I want?

You can do it using this code:

this.exportDataObject({cName: "My File.docx", nLaunch: 2});

The first parameter is the name of the attached file that you want to open, of course.

Correct. Almost no scripts do.
