The classic WordPress editor had an insert media button which was convenient for those of us who include a lot of PDFs and other non-image file/document links on our pages.
Previously, I could upload a pdf or word doc. Select text. Click ADD MEDIA and select the document from my media library and I was done.
NOW I have to upload the document, look at the attachment details, copy the URL to the doc. Go back to edit the page or post, select the text. Click link. Insert the link, apply the change, then modify the link to make sure it opens in a new tab/window. It's a lot more work.
The fix would be to return the add media function as had in the old editor, or make the new add image function be able to cope with pdfs and other non-image documents to simplify the process for us. OR, if I'm an idiot and missing a much simpler way to do this with Gutenberg, make it a more obvious feature so us olds don't thrash looking for it.
kthnxbai.
