How to hyperlink to a file on a shared local network drive?

Post by infosyst »

Anyone figure out a way to hyperlink to a file? A few people are asking for it here for in house use.
using the insert link button from the html compose seems to assume it's a web link and always prefaces with http://
Is there a zimlet for this maybe?

Best solution i've found so far is "file:///F:/HR/Leave%20of%20Absence%20Request.pdf"
which only works if the recipient is using I.E and has the same drive letter tied to that network folder.
Ideally there would be a user friendly gui option to create a link instead of having to type out a link like that.
