PDF always open in note

Features
#1

really enjoying using Joplin - very effective tool when doing research, especially the new feature with profiles

is there a method / way of importing a pdf file into Joplin but keeping it closed - only to be opened when a clicked upon
i have a large number of PDFs and would like to keep them in a specific section (note) for later reference - it can become very busy with even a few pdfs in a note - plus, though i have not tried this yet, i assume all pdfs are exported (or even with the simple backup)??

i am a new user and still trying out many of its features, so this may have already been solved or asked

many thanks

Yes.

Another possibility, to keep the internal viewer but show it in a collapsed state, is to use the summary tag, something like this:

<details open>
<summary><b>My PDF</b></summary>

The inserted PDF here will not be shown until expanded

</details>

Result would be like this:

My PDF

Now you would see the inserted PDF in the internal viewer

Edit:
Correction: The open tag should simply be <details> rather than <details open>. The latter means you want to see the expanded view to begin with
