Currently open a local file from Desktop is not possible and from browser is very tedious as explained on May 2017 update:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/#urlTables
"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"
It will be great if can be improved the way to open the files in same way as with web images or files (http://).

Would also like this as a feature or failing the ability to launch the file, then to list the directory in a browser

Mind blowing to me that this isn't already a feature! My links work fine when I paste them into Edge, but clicking as a URL in the report does nothing.

Would be very useful to have in PBi. (Looks to work in Excel.)

Need this too. It would be very helpful.

This would help so much!

Yes, we have the same issue. We may have links to additional reports or references in the report, but it makes the report seem cumbersome to the user with the additional steps.

Yes, please this needs to be a think. With the large volume of being able to pull data and click on the link directly is beneficial. Having to copy and paste all files paths defeats the purpose of the visuals.
