Hi Dorje,

The approach to rename the extension to aspx should work. Do you also end up downloading the aspx file upon clicking?
An alternative approach is to use tools. One option is the tool SLIM Companion Explorer

Hi Paul, thanks for your response.

Yes renaming to ASPX does work, BUT due to the volume of material we're running into issues reliably changing links within the files. We have a lot of automated processes which constantly update the reference material so are keen to see if there is a solution that means we don't have to alter the automated process outputs.

Thanks for declaring your relationship to the vendor. Much appreciated.
