Edge Chromium handling of FILE: link

We have an internal website with links similar to

 

"...

<a href="file:D:/FolderPath/JOB_FOLDER_XXX">Link Text</a

..."

 

When the user clicks on this link in IE11, the corresponding FOLDER

 

D:\FolderPath\JOB_FOLDER_XXX

 

is opened in a new File Explorer window

 

I installed the Chrome "Enable local file links" extension in Edge hoping it would accomplish the same thing, but it just opens a new tab in Edge representing the folder.

This is not acceptable, since none of the default file type associations work
