Make a file link clickable in a visualisation

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello,

I would like to add a link to a local HTML file in a table visualisation. I don´t want to use http. After clicking the link the local HTML file should open in a new browser tab.

The content of the field is: file:///home/...../Documents/..../...../index.html

In the index pattern the field is defined as type string and format Url and type Link

In the table visualisation the (file) link is embbeded like this:
<a href="http://10.8.0.140:5601/app/file:///home/...../Documents/..../...../index.html" target="_blank">file:///home/...../Documents/..../...../index.html</a>

Is there a way to prevent that Kibana is putting href="http://10.8.0.140:5601/app in front?
Or is there an other better way to solve this?

Thx for your help
Volker

Our URL field formatter does not appear to support local URIs like this. I would suggest opening an enhancement request issue in the Kibana Github repo.
