How to open a PDF in product text

How can I open and read a PDF file in the product text area when clicking on "Click here" text without requiring a FTP login?

Now that I have the folder to place my PDF in, how can I open it with a "Click Here" text link in my product descriptuion?

Two options come to mind:

Via a plugin: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1642
Simple html added to your product description: <a href="link_to_dpf" target="_blank">click here</a>
