Hi Kyle, It looks like that's not currently possible, it still has an open request in the tracker as well: https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16587
It probably does boil down to lack of status/content-type for file:// locations. A work around seems to be hosting with a web server of some kind (I'm guessing even Python's http module would suffice: "python3 -m http.server" or in python2 "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" and then localhost:8000 by default).
