hyperlink - Can Google Chrome open local links?

Question

I am linking on an intranet page to a local file on a shared drive:

<a href="file:///s:/test.xls"> Test</a>

This works in IE and Firefox with an addon called local link.

How can I get this to open in Google Chrome?

Answer 1

You can't link to file:/// from an HTML document that is not itself a file:/// for security reasons.
