Vern_Bateman Hello! We currently have the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally policy (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#alwaysopenpdfexternally) but that only addresses part of your request.
I can see we have it on our backlog to update the policy to allow an exception list but there is no ETA for when this will be available. I'll pass on your request to the team.
Thanks!

Hoping this can be made more of a priority..
thanks for your help.
