Download a file in a new tab from a controller that requires auth

We want to allow our clients to download files into new tabs like images and PDFs. When we <a href="..." target=_blank ... the tab opens but doesn't have the necessary bearer token to download the file. We tried making it download a blob and then sending the user's browser there, but the url opens as a guid which makes saving the file a real pain because you don't know the original file name. It also doesn't seem to work in mobile. We are thinking about maybe making secure tokens to allow a one-time non-auth download, but that seems like more work than it should be. How can I open a file in a new tab that requires a bearer token?

Detailed 401 errors SPA bearer token

I created a minimal example to replicate an issue I'm having with a SPA OIDC and a bearer token I keep getting 401 from the following setup:

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddOpenIdConnect(options =>
{
    options.Authority = "http://localhost:3000";
    options.RequireHttpsMetadata = false;
    options.ClientId = "oidcCLIENT";
    options.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = true;
});

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(BearerTokenDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddBearerToken(options =>
{
    options.ClaimsIssuer = "http://localhost:3000";
});

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddOpenIdConnect(options =>
{
    options.Authority = "http://localhost:3000";
    options.RequireHttpsMetadata = false;
    options.ClientId = "oidcCLIENT";
    options.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = true;
});

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(BearerTokenDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddBearerToken(options =>
{
    options.ClaimsIssuer = "http://localhost:3000";
});

Very simple setup. I don't know what the issue is. I just need some debugging information. I changed my appsettings.json

  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
    },
    "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information",
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication": "debug",
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization": "debug"
  },

  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
    },
    "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information",
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication": "debug",
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization": "debug"
  },

Nothing prints in the console, though, when I get a 401 from WeatherForecast. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
