PDF and Flash are special cases since they are handled internally by Chrome but you can override that to use 3rd party plug-ins or applications. Generally however, I don't believe there's an option for that in Chrome. This PDF plugin is a default plug in it has. That's unusual. Are you using an extension that is causing this behavior? But Google Chrome downloads the file automatically. How can I force to open the links in Chrome without downloading?
The links are for local files. You have to download the file type once, then right after that download, look at the status bar at the bottom of the browser.
Click the arrow next to that file and choose 'always open files of this type'. I think the question was about to open a local file directly instead of downloading a local file to the download folder and open the file in the download folder, which seems not possible in Chrome, except some add-on mentioned above. Just found your question whilst trying to solve another problem I'm having, you will find that currently Google isn't able to perform a temporary download so therefore you have to download instead.
