Two ideas: 1. do many things understand the host-form of file:// links? I know it's in RFC 3986, but I only remember the file:///blahblah form working in the wild. 2. where is the action and what does "View Source..." around it look like? I think the line in opac-detail.tt is [% IF ( itemdata_uri ) %]<td class="url"><a href="[% ITEM_RESULT.uri %]">[% ITEM_RESULT.uri %]</a></td>[% END %] and that gets fed things from opac-detail.pl itemdata_uri => $itemfields{uri}, which itself comes from a call to GetItemsInfo in C4::Items which I think is just returning whatever came in the SELECT from mysql, so I don't see how this could be going wrong... anyone?
