if I go to the Artifacts tab in blue ocean, I can see the artifacts.
However, for each artifact I can only download the artifact.
On the legacy UI, there was a link to view the artifact as well.
For example https://myjenkins/jobname/29/artifact/somefile.txt will download the artifact
https://myjenkins/jobname/29/artifact/somefile.txt/*view*/
will view it in the browser.
I use that feature a lot because I archive certain log files during test runs which are handy to view in the browser.
The behavior of the browser is determined by what the server sends back in the HTTP Content-Type field,
and also the internal list of mime-types in the browser.
If you appends */view/* to a URL, it triggers this behavior in Jenkins:
It sets a pseudo-name to plain.txt, so that tricks the browser into trying to render the file in the browser.
In my artifacts directory, I generate a lot of YAML files ending with .yml extension, so I want to be able to view them in the browser just like in the legacy UI, in addition to being able to download them.

I've always had mixed results re: that working even in the legacy UI, and found that it was client/chrome related, re: displaying the content vs downloading.
I mention this because it's working for me right now with blueocean. If I click "artifacts" I see a list of 3 items: pipeline.log, and two .png files generated as screenshots from UI testing, that I publish with the 'archive the artifacts' functionality. Each of those 3 items is a link itself as far as the "filename" is concerned, To the right of the filename is size, and to the right of that is the icon/link (down arrow) for downloading. Each work as expected for me – clicking on the "filename" displays the object in the browser in a new tab pipeline.log shows all the build text, and the two .png files show the picture. If I click the download icon it will download it.
