UNC is supposed to be supported in XWiki Syntax 2.1. Our documentation gives the following examples (from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax): unc:C:\Windows\ unc:\\myserver\path\img.png unc:home/user/somefile What happens when you click on your link? Note that I've checked the unit test I wrote for this: [[unc:\\myserver\myshare\mydoc.txt]] generates in HTML: <a href="file://///myserver/myshare/mydoc.txt">... The algorithm I coded is this one: // Transform the UNC reference into a file URL of the format: file://///myserver/myshare/mydoc.txt // i.e. replace all "\" chars by "/" and prefix with "file:///". String fileURL = "file:///" + reference.getReference().replaceAll("\\\\", "/"); Let me know what doesn't work.
