How to change chromium chrome://settings/content/pdfdocuments to open externally?


Hey 🙂 Anyone that know how to change chromium chrome://settings/content/pdfdocuments open externally? I have searched around but cannot find any parameter command line or anything to change this. I have changed in the mime handler that all the PDF’s should be opened in libreoffice “DRAW” and it work if we download the pdf and then go to the download folder and click on the pdf but it does not work within chromium because of the setting> any clues suggestions? 🙂
