Even if the link seems to direct to a file, this could not be the case. The following link for example directs also to a pdf

https://qck.biz/sample.pdf <https://qck.biz/sample.pdf>

but the server redirects that link to a .lc file which outputs some text and runs a javascript (just an popup box).

So you never can be sure. ;)
