How can you create a link for an offcie file (document or speadsheet) that when clicked opens up without it prompting to download or save a copy of the file locally, like it does with PDFs?

Another approach is to make a X5 page as a hidden page. In/on that page you make an iframe where you show the document - or you could show a document from GoogleDocs.
You then make a link that opens the hidden page in a new window or as showbox.
This should function in all browsers.
