I went back to the policy documentation page, and discovered that https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Edge-Enterprise/commit/b0062a21d46ed185d39d95c30a561cb42b390d30#diff-9919142af0a4e0f670fbe84b7d61ba78b67768ebdac60f6ff9998939d558a0ffL2786:

 

If you enable this policy, intranet zone file URL links originating from intranet zone HTTPS pages will open Windows File Explorer to the parent directory of the file and select the file. Intranet zone directory URL links originating from intranet zone HTTPS pages will open Windows File Explorer to the directory with no items in the directory selected.

 

I updated Edge to the latest version (99.0.1150.39), but still not working as expected.
Then I tried the latest version of Edge Canary (101.0.1195.0), and it works as expected ! 🙂

 

I couldn't find an announcement of some sorts about this in the latest dev channel updates, so I guess this update comes with the 101 version.
