How the new Edge will handle file:// URI ?
file: links seems to be ignored in this version of Edge (like they are in Chrome). In the previous version of Edge however (and all IE versions), clicking on a file: link opens the original document....

There is an extension for chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enable-local-file-links/nikfmfgobenbhmocjaaboihbeocackld) which also works for edge.
But it's generally not a good practice to use local file links. Better way for your described usecase would be sharepoint or similair products.

Kneecht Sadly, you can download a file with this extension but you cannot open the original.
Thank for the answer.
