I have an integration that calls an api which downloads document from external system. How can I implement a link that user can one click download the document that is returned from that api? like documentDownloadLink(), but I guess it can only be used for downloading documents that are stored in Appian? My requirement is that user don't want Appian to store the documents copy, so I can only call the api to get the document

    That's not possible. As soon as you download the document from that API, it is stored in Appian. But you could create a process for it that downloads, then shows the download link to the user, and finally deletes the document after a grace period.
