Hello neranima,
what type of files do you want to link?
Every browser work different for example you link a image (.jpg or .gif) the browser show it; if you link a (.mov,.avi and so) the browser open the media player (if it recognize it as a movie file).
The simplest way to force the browser to show the "Save As" window is to pack the files in a .zip.
In alternative if you usa a web server with dynamic pages (.asp,.php,.jsp,etc.) you can add an header to a page saying that the file is a downloadable file
This is the example for .asp file
response.addheader "content-type", "application/bin"
response.redirect "myfile.mov"
Note that in the next version 2.0 Dynamic HTML Editor come with a link wizard who help you to make links.
