Hi The current state of affairs with respect file URI's is fairly well outlined here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme
This works for me in TW5 with this syntax: [ext[pretty link text|file URI]] The preceding "file://" is often superfluous; I am, therefore, able to use links such as this (in linux): [ext[Bambandyanalo|/media/files/Document Library/bambandyanalo.pdf]] -- for a file in the same directory as the TW: [ext[Bambandyanalo|./bambandyanalo.pdf]] The browser behaviour when clicking these links may be changed in the browser settings -- the file may be saved / opened with a specified application / or even viewed in a browser tab with a suitable plugin (PDF Viewer in the case of pdf's.) regards On Tuesday, July 29, 2014 2:16:12 AM UTC+2, [email protected] wrote: > > How do I open files (stored on my HD or elsewhere) from TW?
