Just to check: I am using TBB and I download a file (PDF, EXE, whatever) and the box comes up which says "Tor Browser cannot display this file. You will need to open it with another application", presumably if I click "OK" then the download happens via the Tor network. 

In other words: the download cannot happen outside of the Tor network.


Nope, the download can happen outside Tor network. You are using Tor
browser which depend on Tor, not Tor itself.

Just set the proxy environment and you can use Tor for all the
application.
