I think I'm getting an inkling of what you're trying to do, but still a little confused. If I'm understanding right, then the following should work.
Pick a few letters, to use as the extension.
Then, in a directory associate that extension with SpinWorks (Tools>Folder Options>File Types) by setting the default open action to the SW application.
Then, you can simply do stuff like this:
code:
<a href="Z:\Docs\Uni\MPhil\NMR\2008-10-21-AB-26\10\fid.my_sw_ext">blah</a>
...and the browser will open the local copy of the file, rather than saving a temporary copy.
Actually, you might need "file://z:/Docs/Uni/.../10/fid.my_sw_ext" instead... can't remember if the first will work or not.
Also, for uni you'll need to use SUBST to map the network path to drive Z - assuming you want to use the same links for both locations.
Otherwise you'll have to do:
code:
<a href="file://fdgdfg/dfg/fid.my_sw_ext">home</a> <a href="\\dsmfkdsm\dsfsd\dsf\fid.my_sw_ext">uni</a>
for everything, which may or not be desirable?
