In the **Linked files** tab of a product! The link does work in the browser.

On v14.0.5…

Firefox browser…

This format works, except:

- You must right-click Open in a new tab, then click enter from the address bar, otherwise my test png didnt seem to load in the browser.

```auto
file:///D:/My%20Documents/Downloads/image(3).png

```

Having the limitations above, it could still be good as a way of storing the ‘local’ location of certain files or documents.

Thanks for the response! Well I currently use version 13.  
Right-clicking and **Open Link in New Tab** doesn’t work for me on a Linux based system!
