Thankfully I found this one. More features and backed by a great publisher. Thanks for sharing with the community. I needed a way to publish individual secure file download urls from wordpress hosted content to registered users and track the download counts.
Whilst this is of course wordpress page based and those pages turn up in a site search, they can be secured "The admin of this site has disabled this download item page" which is good enough and PHP dispatch option hides the download url.

This procedure works on Gutenberg Paragraph and List blocks. When I change the blocks to a bulleted list, it makes it one block. Hi Laura, I agree, there are some issue with Gutenberg that need to be worked out.
Not being able to easily link to files from within a block is unacceptable. There are a couple things you can do to work around the PDF issue. That allows you to continue to use the classic editor with WordPress 5. If you want to continue using the Block editor, you can link to pdf files by going to the Media manager and copying the pdf link. Then create a link in the list and paste the pdf url. Why should we have to go to all of that effort simply to have a capability that already existed.
Frankly the difficulties in linking to a pdf with the new Gutenberg version of WordPress are completely unacceptable. I would strongly discourage anyone from using WordPress given the complete insensitivity of WordPress to its users.
This is absolutely unacceptable and we will be discontinuing all of their products. I am pissed!! I have an alternative method I use to add media to lists.
