There's no mention about this in the Hyperlink-chapter of the manual. An URL is composed of - a protocol part ended with ':' ftp:' 'http:' or 'file:' - an address of the server starting with '//' and ending in '/' if the server is the localmachine, one can put 'localhost' or sometimes also just nothing. In this case you have for a file on your machine already 'file:///' ! - then follows the location on the server, which is a bit OS dependent ...
