Is it possible to download an asset from an entries tab I was wondering if there was a plugin that would give my client the ability to download an asset – in this case a submitted resume – when viewing an entry in the backend.
I'm pretty sure there isn't currently a plugin which makes that possible (complete list is here), but I'd imagine it's possible to build one.

The trick would be to set it up as a Field Type. Then your field type would have to dynamically figure out what file is supposed to be downloaded, and provide a button for your user to download it.
