Link-Column with a Local Link (not Web-Link)

Hi everyone,

Our Issue:
We have many tasks that are associated with a large number of files. Those files are all saved on a local network-share. I want to be able to easily access that folder in Monday. It is not practical to attach every single file to a task (too many files, also they have to be accessible by other applications). I’d prefer to have a simple link to our local path, to be opened with Windows Explorer. The available “Link-column” does not work, as every link generated will start with a “http:” will therefore be opened in the browser.

It would be nice to have a column very similar to the link-column, but with a local path, e.g. “X:\project\customer1\”, that then opens in Windows Explorer.

Our Workaround:
We currently use a normal Text-column with the link as plain Text, so we can copy/paste it to Windows Explorer. This works, but feels a little clumsy, especially when the link is very long.
