**Do you want to:** Report a bug
**Description:**
When opening an existing `.docx` file that already contains an embedded `.txt` attachment, double-clicking the embedded text object fails to open it. The issue is specifically about accessing pre-existing embedded `.txt` files, not about inserting new ones.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Open ONLYOFFICE Document Editor (Desktop or Web).
2. Open an **existing** `.docx` file that already contains an embedded `.txt` attachment.
3. Double-click the embedded `.txt` object within the document.
4. **Result:** The file fails to open / displays an error / remains blank. _(Please specify which behavior you see)_
**Expected result:**
The existing embedded `.txt` attachment should open correctly when double-clicked.
**OS version:** Windows 11 (24H2)
**App version:** 9.4.0.129
**Downloaded from:** ONLYOFFICE website
**Installation guide used:** Official Desktop Editors installer from [ONLYOFFICE desktop and mobile apps | ONLYOFFICE](http://onlyoffice.com/download-desktop.aspx)

Hi @zhangsan , thanks for the report, and welcome to the community!
This one is actually a missing feature rather than a bug — opening an embedded file object like this `.txt` by double-click isn’t supported in the editors yet. The icon shows in the document, but double-clicking it doesn’t do anything for now. The same goes for inserting these objects.
It’s already tracked as an enhancement on our side (ref — 47682), and we’ll update the thread once it’s available.

Understood. Thank you for your hard work on this!
