Download / file links in Writer

Hi all - I have a client asking about adding download links into the Writer field. I know this is an active issue on Nolt at the moment, but for now what is the best approach? My solution up to now is:

  • Have a files section on the page for them to add files to, which includes a download link column:
files:
  type: files
  label: Files
  layout: table
    columns:
      download:
        label: Download link
        value: "{{ file.permalink }}"
  • Include instructions on the page that to add a download link to a Writer field they need to copy this, and then paste it into the link dialog in Writer.

This is working ok, but it would be cool to know if anyone has a better approach than this.
