Is there any way to execute a network path from the link of an item record?

Is my understanding that we cannot add an on-prem network path link to an item card using the BC cloud and expect it to work since it is not an internet/intranet link. I am wondering how others have worked around this? We have engineering files in PDF format stored locally. In a perfect world, we would be able to click that link from the item card and launch that file. We are open to suggestions.

For anyone who comes across this later - to resolve this problem, we uploaded the files to an internal IIS server, which made the path to the files a URL that BC could tolerate.

Hi, If you are using network storage such as OneDrive or Sharepoint, you can use Power Automate without customization.

Here are some specific examples

I don't believe there is a way. Can you store the files in SharePoint instead of locally? SharePoint links will work.
