Click on file path to open file in new window

Is it possible to click a filepath and have it open the file in a table in PBI?     I tried URL but that drops an error (ofcourse)

You could put these files on a sharepoint/onedrive, and then use a proper URL.  Not sure if you can actually display TIFF in Power BI?

It is not needed to open in PowerBI. I just need the files to be opened in its own window when clicked. The files is placed on our local server with the path shown, but for now neither Chrome or IE allows me to open the link - seems blocked

 

I also tried to add file: in front but still it acts like a blocked path or possibility. 

 

The files are invoices and can not be moved to sharepoint

    "The files are invoices and can not be moved to sharepoint"

     

    Not a valid argument.  Sharepoint is used by finance departments all over the world. With proper access control it can handle invoices too.
