Before you do anything else, make an HTML file that includes a file:
link, and put it on your web server. Load it up in all the web browsers
that you might expect to be in use internally, and confirm that the
link actually works.
For security reasons, many current browsers don't allow file: links
from web pages. It may require special configuration to get them
working, or it may just not be possible.
I can't find a way to do that in MediaWiki? Is it
possible?
