File attachment Type

I am building an app that tracks our company's PO's. When a user selects on a PO, I'd like Powerapps to do a lookup in a separate database and pull any associated invoices, or quotes from a quote database or payment from a payment database. Each of the records in these databases can have a file attachment. I'd like the user to be able to click on the file attachment, and have it viewable whether it's a picture, .png or .jpg, .pdf or maybe even a spreadsheet and view it. Is this possible?

You can view a picture using the picture control, for pdf its a pdf experimental control, howver if you dont want the user to have a view, you can use the attachement control itself in view mode to show the fuploaded file names and if user clicks it they will be ableto donwload them. For spread sheet you can use a gallery or a table.

Is there an easy way to write some logic to determine the file type and depending on the type (i.e. pdf or jpeg) perform a different action, as in download if spreadsheet vs, show image if it's an image?
