Needs VotesOpen local files (file://) directly by click on url link as with (http://)

Currently open a local file from Desktop is not possible and from browser is very tedious as explained on May 2017 update:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/#urlTables
"If you want to use file URLs, there are some limitations. They will not open in the Power BI Desktop, only in web browsers. For most browsers, you will need to right click on the link, copy the link address, and paste the URL in a new tab"
It will be great if can be improved the way to open the files in same way as with web images or files (http://).

Note that the image URL action specifically removes file:// uri's and calls them invalid. My impression is that this functionality could open up security holes. In the end you should if possible, use a https:// pointing at business onedrive or sharepoint as the target.

Take my vote, although this idea was initiated 2 years ago. Both explorer and PBI are Microsoft product, this should be added and vital for PBI user.

Add this feature ASAP. MS made $30B last year. Hire some devs.

I am very disappointed to see this feature needs votes to make it happen. Isn't it default feature in any other MS Office application?

This can transform the experience of using reports.
