Any way to add local file links to notes ?

In many other programs, I can use a "File://" type link to a local or networked file or directory.

When I insert such link into Note field, it's underlined - as if the service recognized it as a valid link - but nothing happens when I click on it. Tried three different browsers.

Is there any way to make TD work with file links ? Or is there a plan to add this feature ? I know that TD Pro offers uploading files but I work with project directories that are many gigabytes and need to be stored locally.

Hello,

most browser prohibit the opening of local files. For example you have to configrue firefox to open local files.

After the security settings are adjusted you will be able to refer local files in your notes like:
