You can't get back to the works page if you're on a digitised PDF/video item page

What If you're on the item page for a digitised PDF or video, there's no context and you can't get back to the original work page easily.

Where Examples:

• https://wellcomecollection.org/works/ddpvmpau/items (PDF)
• https://wellcomecollection.org/works/b4mjzmq7/items (video)

You shouldn't end up on the video item page as the video plays on the works page.

Here's an example of when you do go to the item page for the video: https://wellcomecollection.org/works/uyau7wsy

This might be addressed by some work Gareth is doing, exploring rendering PDFs and videos (and others) in the item viewer, so to be reviewed after that's discussed.

@gestchild looks like this problem still exists but just wanted to check if there was any additional insight since feb?

[gestchild]

No new insight really. There's a potential solution if we make the viewer capable of displaying the pdfs and videos, which I was looking at as part of the born digital work, but this is on hold as it's not part of the MVP for that work.
