Even if you manage to get the link to your shared folder been populated within Sharepoint, you cannot circumvent any browser security without 3rd party extensions.
References pointing to local resources are blocked by default for most modern browsers.
Perhaps you could make use of the following feature available with lists in modern experience
(unfortunately not for document libraries):
Whereby, you still need to train your customers to manually open Windows Explorer and paste the clipboard value into the address bar.
