I am working with Aurena and need to add a command or some kind of hyperlink that opens a PDF file from an online storage drive . The problem is that the instruction navigate checks and opens only URLs that start with http:// or https:// and I need it to open a URL that starts with file:///.
How do I customize a command so it will open a URL like that? Or do I have some other option to achieve this?
Opening local files is not allowed as you have mentioned. This could be due to some security implications in opening files in the browser as well. As far as I know, this functionality is not yet planned for any upcoming releases either.
I would suggest you to create a topic In Ideation so that it would be considered for implementation in the future:

Yes i was able to bypass the command http:// -check and add a link that started with file:///. But this still didn’t work.
Like @Charith Epitawatta suggested, the main reason that this does not work are security implementations in modern browsers. Executing files (like in this case PDF) from a website is blocked to protect against malicious intent.
I think that the only way to open a local file is to use Aurena Agent. It has OpenFile command, which opens the given file with the default application.
