The file hyperlinks are included in the report. Selecting the "Files" checkbox includes the referenced files in the report if the file is smaller than 2.5 MB. If the file is larger than 2.5 MB, it will be accessible via a hyperlink in the task messages. If only the "Messages" checkbox is selected, only the link to the files will exist in the report.
