Enable local file links Extension

In Google Chrome, links to local files are disabled, unlike IE.
This extension allows you to open a link to a local file by clicking it.

[Setting]
Starting with Chrome 118 in October 2023, you will need to enable the \"Allow access to file URLs\" setting from the extension settings page.

[Security]
A malicious page can not open a local file without permission, because this extension reacts only to the click operation by the user.

[Others]
Personal information is not collected / used.

Thomas Friedrich (ID: 00000039a5b819e0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/05/2023 I added the link ms-excel:ofv|u|file:///T:/IT/test.xlsx to a wiki page. It doesn't do anything when clicked. Copying it into the address bar throws a warning and then opens Excel with the file.

Zer0 Studioz (ID: 000000539122a320) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/12/2023 Doesn't seem to do anything. I hightly doubt it's the devs fault, I think Google is just being a**holes, but still disappointing
