Ho Robert, nothing special. PDF does not support embedded files within page content. Basically it's similar to Word (Packager Shell Object). So, in PDF you will likely just see nothing or a tiny small file name, maybe an icon (not sure).
What you can do in FM, which might be quite nice of you want to get a clickable link in PDF (or HTML5 output): Insert a hypertext marker with content "message URL mytextfile.txt", place a nice txt file icon as an inline graphic after it and put a character style like "link" over the marker and the inline AFrame. This way you will get a nice clickable image that will open the external file (in my sample the txt file "mytextfile.txt") (in the browser).
