Edge backward feature availability

Question

Under the old download method, if the downloaded document was something that I had no intention of saving for future use, I could just hit open and it would open from a default temp location, then after closing it I would never have to deal with the file again.

Under the new method, I can either allow it to be auto downloaded to my default Downloads folder (or other folder) where I can open from the browser download bar and then have to clean up the save folder manually myself later to clear the unwanted files, or I can turn on the "Ask me" setting and be forced to determine a save path for every file I download. Neither of these are satisfactory solutions.

WOuld be awesome if Edge (as the recommended browser) would have that backward feature availability to have the "bottom box" option for viewing after declining 'save' - launches the (.pdf for example) doc from a temporary location without the need for lots of clicks/saves/renames/deletes.

Thanks!
