Is it possible to add a hyperlink in Zotero's notes to open a local file and jump to a specific page

I would like to know if it is possible to add a hyperlink in Zotero's notes to open a local file, such as a PDF document (opened using the default PDF reader on the computer), and preferably jump to a specific page

(I know that citation in Zotero can achieve this function, but it is only limited to open PDF documents in Zotero)

    You can add an hyperlink on some text by highlighting the text to link and using the Insert Link button in the annotations toolbar at the top of the note.
    For windows, you just need to add file:/// in front of the actual path to the file to make it a system file hyperlink. For example, the link to the file C:\Users\username\Desktop\file.pdf would be file:///C:\Users\username\Desktop\file.pdf.
    There is probably something similar on other operating systems.

    I guess Zotero could recognize these file hyperlinks and automatically add the prefix?
  • @mjthoraval thank you ,I got it
  • Any idea how to do this in Linux?

    I've tried `file:///path/to/file` with any number of leading slashes after "file:" without luck.
