Is it possible to put a link in a tiddler to a Word or Excel file (or any
other application) on my local disk, so that when I click it the file opens
in the application?
In TW5, you can create an explicit external link using:
[ext[text to show|URL or relative path/file]]
(i.e., similar to a regular TW link, but with ext added in between the
first two brackets)
However, the *handling* for specific application file types is determined
by the browser configuration. If the browser has an association between
the file type and the application, then clicking the external link will
launch the application. If there is no file type association, most
browsers just invoke their 'download and save' dialog.
