There appears to be 22 instances of .kicad_mod footprint/module files that contain paths to local PDFs for the descr token instead of a publicly available URL from Digikey or a manufacturer.

Example from digikey-footprints.pretty/TO-39-4.kicad_mod (contains path to file:///C:/Users/alex_wegscheid/Downloads/MLX90614-Datasheet-Melexis%20(2).pdf):

(module TO-39-4 (layer F.Cu) (tedit 59C91BAC)
  (descr "file:///C:/Users/alex_wegscheid/Downloads/MLX90614-Datasheet-Melexis%20(2).pdf")
  (fp_text reference REF** (at 2.5 -8.75) (layer F.SilkS)
    (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15)))

These files all have local paths to PDFs for the descr token:
