When I open the hyperlink (1) it's opening chrome correctly,
but It's missing ":" comma char, so I have to type ":" comma char manually in the browser to open the
folder that I need. Who can help me to say why I am doing wrong? How can I solve this issue?
I read some articles and I saw the ":" comma char is an URL Encode and it corresponds at "%3A", it's reserved. I still don't know how to solve this issue I have already tried to change the hyperlink from "http://file://...." to "http://file%3A//....", but if I do this the hyperlink does not work as a hyperlink at Power BI and does not open the web browser. Somebody can help me? I appreciate it a lot and need too much help with this issue.

Hi @Janaam,
Power BI won’t make any modifications to the web urls imported into it for they are text type data imported into Power BI. As you can see, here is a web url containing “:” and it works well when clicking on the link. (Test with Chrome and Microsoft Edge)
This issue is caused by how the browser parse the URL. If input a url like http://file://test.html, it will be handled as the second screenshot showed.
