    It would be awesome if we can click on text (with hyperlink) and directly opens the web page instead of clicking on the text and then clicking on the URL

    Hello Guys,
    In fact, the functionality exist in PBI to open an external link; access a local network drive or open a file directly through a browser but it's not known to Microsoft Admins. Here is what you can do to access a network drive or a file.

    Tricks:
    1. works with Edge or IE browsers
    2 use "file://" at the beginning
    2. map using "/" instead of "\"
