Hi Soren. >>> 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.
I have no problem with Anki opening websites. Anything with the prefix "https://"; will open in the browser, but when I use "file://" nothing happens. I also tried this on a totally different Windows 10 machine with an almost fresh install and still it wouldn't work. It also didn't work when I tried clicking the link from AnkiWeb. This was all with me creating the link exactly as you describe above (the file opens if I copy the path directly into the browser). Did you try it on a 64 bit Windows 10, or some earlier version (no idea if that would matter)?
