Forcing Web Objects to Stay in Slide in v. 3.82

Due to some limitations with the LMS I use, I have to use version 3.82 of Storyline (the November 2023 version).

I'm trying to create a course where users can view a PDF that's housed on a webpage without the page opening in a new window. I tried using the "Display in Slide" setting for the web object, but when I test the course in Review 360, it always opens a new browser window. I've tried about 3 or 4 variations (including opening in a new layer that displays the web object), but nothing seems to be working. 

Is this just a bug in the version that I have to use, and there's nothing I can really do about it, or is there another workaround that might exist?

here is an example to integate external pdf in a web object (created with SL 3.82)

https://360.articulate.com/review/content/ec31c3ea-d7eb-4f0e-bd9b-09b6d2ede338/review

version 1: with link to external pdf

settings:

version 2: with a local index.html

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <style>
      object {
        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        top:  0;
        width:  100%;
        height: 100%;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <object data="https://pdfobject.com/pdf/sample.pdf#view=fitH" type="application/pdf"></object>
  </body>
</html>

settings:

both versions should work
