📄 Description

I have a RAG based Backend which hosts the source documents on a different server. When calling it through the OpenAI Interface, I am returning the citations but currently I was not able to set the displayed name independent of the URL.
I want the displayed name to be something like "myPDF.pdf" but it should link in the modal view to "http://test.de/myPDF.pdf". In order to do that, I had to remove the overwrite of the source.name field. It was getting overwritten as soon as the id is an URL. I now added a separate field url, that is set from the id, if it is an url.

Before:

After:

The documentation does currently not at all mention this capability of providing citations through the OpenAI Interface.

Changelog Entry

Description

Allow an external URL in citations, but still display the filename to the user.
