@warkolm it's the usecase whereby we want the user to be able to open that specific file when he looks at the particular hit result.

I done a bit of search with regards to the opening of file and it seems like we might be able to add protocols in the kibana.yml to alter them. Any advice on this?

> Hello everyone. I am new to Elasticsearch. I am indexing some pdf, word files using Fscrawler (which works great!) and using Kibana to filter, search. I am wandering if there is a way to open file from Kibana using the data (e. g. path.real)? Thanks in advance.
