- Assuming you are using a modern browser - e.g. not Internet Explorer, then it is by design - Chrome, etc. block these types of links.
You can try using IE, depending on trusted site config, it might work. See https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/272529/links-to-network-drives-do-not-work-for-some-users- Thank you! The Chrome extension to enable local file links worked for me.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enable-local-file-links/nikfmfgobenbhmocjaaboihbeocackld?hl=en - Thanks for pointing me there Rob. We use Chrome primarily.
And anyways, i tried IE- it did not work there as well despite adding it to trusted site
