How can I configure macros to display attachments in the browser instead of downloading them?

Question

I would like to configure a page in my Confluence server instance to display a list of attachments, primarily PDFs, using a macro to automatically list them.

When I use a macro such as Attachments List, the links automatically download the attachment, which is not the behavior I want. However when I manually create a link on the page, the document displays in the browser's "preview" mechanism, which is what I want.

How can I remove the automatic download "feature" so users can simply browse the attachments?

Thanks, Lauretha! Unfortunately that thread refers to Cloud not Server.
