Hi!
I've got a solution that contains some .sql files and also a single .PDF, that I would like to read every now and then.
By clicking on this, it's presented to me as code within SSMS.
Is it possible to combine the external opening with another app from SSMS?
It seems not to me.. but I hope someone can prove me wrong.
Have a nice day, Alen

If I include a PDF in a scripts project, and open it, it does go to my configured PDF viewer. But even if I have a configured JSON viewer application (like VSCode), it won't open that. I wonder what the difference is. I'd tried it with other file types before and had no luck. I wonder what changed with PDF.
