Well, if the Designer was the 1975 Notre Dame football team, the Explorer Box would be a shoo-in for Rudy. Be it web pages, files, or file explorer windows, the Explorer Box will let you embed and interact with all the above right in your workflows:

To attach files you want to include in Explorer Boxes to your workflow, try adding them as an asset to the Explorer Box Tool and exporting before sharing.
