    Hi msft-cap ,

     

    We now support new link types in the original and preview table and matrix:

    • mailto
    • News
    • Telnet
    • FTP
    • File

     

    If you want to use file URLs, there are some limitations. They will not open in the Power BI Desktop, only in web browsers. For most browsers, you will need to right click on the link, copy the link address, and paste the URL in a new tab.

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,
    Winniz
