Are you talking about some link like "file://myfiler/myshareCIFS" ?

Add in your LocalSettings.php
$wgUrlProtocols = array(
        'http://',
        'https://',
        'ftp://',

        'file://',

        'irc://',
        'gopher://',
        'telnet://', // Well if we're going to support the above.. -ævar
        'nntp://', // @bug 3808 RFC 1738
        'worldwind://',
        'mailto:',
        'news:'
 );

And then, you can do 
[file://myfiler/share/mynastyword.doc  My Link]  or
[file:////myfiler/... ]

But it will mostly work with IE, not firefox. Is there a way to fix it ?
