Environment - macOS (Apple Silicon), Traycer Desktop, epic with local worktree on an external volume - Files: local PDFs (invoices/statements) generated inside the workspace Steps to reproduce 1. Agent creates/edits local binary files (e.g. generated PDFs) and reports their absolute paths in chat. 2. Ask for clickable links — plain absolute paths render as inert text; markdown links with file:/// also don't navigate. 3. Open the Files-changed panel and click one of the PDF "Edit" entries. 4. Ask for the same paths inside a Traycer artifact. Expected - Clicking a file path/entry opens the file locally (Finder reveal / default app) or shows a preview. - Absolute paths and file:// links in chat/artifacts are either clickable or clearly documented as unsupported. Actual - Chat: plain paths are inert text; file:/// markdown links are not clickable. - Files-changed panel: "Edit" opens the diff viewer, which cannot render binary files (PDFs) — no preview, no open-in-app. - Artifacts: no support for linking to local workspace files (artifact links are artifact-relative only). Impact - For workflows that produce client-ready documents (invoices, statements, work orders) as local PDFs, the user cannot access outputs from the UI at all and must fall back to Terminal (

open <path>

) or Finder. - Workaround found: agent-generated local INDEX.html with relative links works in a browser — but this is a manual fix, and artifacts can't host it usefully either. Suggestion - Local file links (or a "Reveal in Finder / Open" action) for chat messages and the files-changed panel. - PDF preview support (or open-externally button) for binary files in the diff/files panel. - Optional: allow artifacts to link to workspace files.
