Can we show PDF and Image in webi?

I am wondering if webi can show BLOBs that are stored in the database. Specifically PDF s and Images.

In my universe, I have an object of Blog datatype, but I do not see it when I am composing a new webi in launchpad.

I don’t think blob is a datatype WEBI recognises. Attempt all the different datatypes available in the universe. I doubt it though. Obviously you can hyperlink to your pdf and embed your images with a cell, even conditionally show different images within a single cell, or overlay multiple cells.

Point is, there’s likely another option. Depending on the requirements.
