Ah, okay :-) If I correctly understood what you mean, that should work from local but I'm afraid that for security reasons it is blocked from remote sites. Look, if you create a small local html file with this content: <html> <head> </head> <body> <a href="file:///home/sm01/.xsession-errors">View file</a> </body> </html> And click on the link, it loads the selected file (the uri path needs to be adjusted, of course).
