Can I Make a URL Field Value Clickable To Open a Local File on the Computer?

Generally, whether or not you are operating in Ragic, browsers do not support opening local file paths.

However, if you want users to be able to click a local file path URL stored in a field to open a file on their computer, they will need to install a browser extension that enables this functionality. Once the extension is installed, you can store a file:// path URL in the field (e.g., file:///D:/_test/A/System_Implementation_Plan.docx), allowing users with the extension to open the file directly.

For example, here is the link to a related Chrome extension: Enable Local File Links
