Hello, In my data i have some ip adress. I would like to open a teamviewer connection with this IP adress. So, for this, i have modified the data view. I change the field's type in "Link", and i put this in the URL template : "teamviewer10://control?device={{value}}" The problem is that Kibana dont understand the link and interpret like this : "[https://mydeploiement](https://mydeploiement):XXXX/app/teamviewer10://control?device=IPAdress" Apparently the problem is that my link does not start with HTTP. So how can I get Kibana to open a link without http in the right way? If it's impossible, do you have a trick? (An http link that allows to open others... I don't know ^^) If you have some questions, I'm here. Thx ---

Hi @GinkoLucas, This is a known issue. Please use these links for tracking and commenting: > > > \*\*Kibana version\*\*: 6.2.2 > > \*\*Elasticsearch version\*\*: 6.2.2 > > \*\*Server OS ver…sion\*\*: Windows Server 2016 > > \*\*Browser version\*\*: Chrome 64 > > \*\*Browser OS version\*\*: Windows 7 > > \*\*Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.)\*\*: Download page > > \*\*Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior\*\*: When there is a URL field that starts with file://, Kibana creates an <a> tag with href="http://myserver/app/file//\[etc\]" which is not usable. > > \*\*Steps to reproduce\*\*: > 1. Create a document with a field called "test" that has a value, "file://c/temp.txt." > 2. Set the "test" field to be in the URL format > 3.
