Multiterm hyperlinks to local/network files

Question

One thing I'd like MultiTerm to do for me is letting me create hyperlinks to local computer or network files in any field. This would give users quick access to reference files from relevant MT entries. I know cross-references in MT are limited to three choices (Term, Entry number or Hyperlink), but would there be any way I could create hyperlinks to computer or network files? 
 So far I've tried writing hyperlinks with strings like this: file:///J:\...	est.doc, which has worked from a web browser like Google Chrome, but trying to do so from MT I've got this message: 
 
 I'm currently using MT 2011 and will change over to MT 2014 shortly. Any good prospects for users of either of these two versions, MT 2015... or ever? 
 Thank you.

Hello Xavier and Paul, 
we had this challenge too. We didn't find a lot of solutions but what works is to put the documents/images on an intranet server. For example we are using Sharepoint. 
Kind regards

Hi Xavier, 
 
I don't think this is supported in Multiterm. Some media files will open if the field is set to media but I don't think you can create links to go to files on your local or network drives. There may be some workarounds for this.... so we're checking but I'd say you need to come up with another idea.
