Samba path for folder or file

[bambosd]

Hello everyone...
Im just wondering if is possible to create a button with href a samba share file path.

For example there is a folder path on fileserver using smb protocol like:
\192.168.0.10\data\project1
Or a specific excel file, like:
\192.168.0.10\data\project1\excel1.xlsx

Since im looking to migrate from python dash web app to homepage dashboard , i used to have links as href with smb paths in firefox. The user was able to navigate then inside firefox and even open files. How we can have similar smb path link creation in dashboard yaml files?

What do you want the button to open? The smb share path in a web browser, or in a program like file explorer?

You could add the path as a bookmark, which would open the link in a browser.

You could create a service which when clicked would open the link in a browser.

yes, like previous example is working, but only inside firefox.
Not able to open file explorer, and i believe is not easy to do something like that.
if you have any news, please post.

Aha! I think I have found a FREE solution. https://localfile.link/

Instructions on the Github repo https://github.com/localfile-link/localfile-link

I will test it out in a little while, let me know if it works out.

Hmm well I can't get localfile.link to work. Any luck @bambosd?

not working. it seems that needs additional client app.
