I'd like to see users try and upload a pdf and create a link to it in a Paragrph block. Something as simple as this should've been one of the first things they built support for, but even now, you have to resort to a hacky workaround of adding a File block, copying the url and then deleting the file block. Either that, upload it directly to the media library and grab the url from there.

This is one of the most common and basic tasks that users constantly perform, yet Gutenberg still can't handle it easily.
