Hi Rich, Hi Mike,
have a look at http://assela.pathirana.net/File_Link_Extension
With this extension you can have a totally different link-text and link-target. I use this mainly to "translate" the link-target (with / instead of \ and %20 instead of blanks) to windows-like paths, so even if one of my colleagues can't or won't open the file via firefox-LocalLink she will be able to find the file via the windows-explorer.
You'll also be needing the LocalLink-Extension https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/281 if you want to open the file-links from Firefox.
