I just tried it on Windows and it works fine for me. Downloaded an HTML to my desktop and added to the card:
<a href="file://C:/Users/soren/Desktop/test.html">link</a> Click the link and test.html opens in the browser. I'm on Anki 2.1.34 (a couple versions behind, but can't think of anything that would have changed here). Do other links to websites work in Anki? Perhaps your default browser is configured wrong and Anki can't figure out what to do with links.
