Hi,Did you try to simply override download function with type as javascript. I believe it should work.

You can try as below.


  <actions>
         <!– Download document –>
          <action id="document-download" type="javascript" label="actions.document.download">
             <param name="function">onActionDownloadDoc</param>
            <!–
            <param name="href">{downloadUrl}</param>
            <param name="target">_blank</param>
            –>
            <evaluator>evaluator.doclib.action.downloadBrowser</evaluator>
            <evaluator>evaluator.doclib.action.hasContent</evaluator>
         </action>
       
       </actions>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then define js function in client side js - "onActionDownloadDoc" . I think its action.js please confirm your end.
Generate download URL and also do your custom changes.

And if you want to do explorer side then you may intercept download content servlet request.
