Hello,  
Could you please help me to open a UNC file link with windows explorer when i pasted on the chat.  
like I want this link [\*\*\SERVER\x\Inspiration\*\*] clickable when pasting on the chat if i click on the link it will show me the same location using windows explorer.

Some chatting software like beebee having this functionality. is there any way to do this thing using Rocket.Chat .

+1 for this please! This is one of the only features that I haven’t been able to find in Rocket, and we use a lot in our current IM/Chat iteration.

Would be extremely helpful!
