This information is irrelevant. It's information that can only be used with a browser, which works on the basis of a URL, not a viewer, which works on the basis of a file reference (path or something, but not a URL). Even if the file is opened as a result of clicking a file:// URL somewhere, then that will be converted to a path or something else long before it is received by the viewer app. Summary: this is impossible, because the system doesn't cooperate.
