Container url support for file:// targets

[getr11]

Question

Hello,
I tried to open a file link (local network share) via Container url and url_target. When setting e.g. www.google.de to url everything works as expected unfortunately for file urls this seems not to work. E.g. file://xxxxx/yyyy/test.pdf. In the browser itself the file link is working but not from flet. Maybe anyone experienced the same or there is a workaround for this. I am working on a Web App on Windows.

Thanks

url not to open file like pdf
if you want to open pdf file try this code ' it's for windows'

from flet import *
import os

def main(page: Page):
    # [+] To Open PDF from Defult App set to open pdf file
    def open_pdf_from_defult_app(e): 
        file = r'file_path' # set pdf file path
        os.startfile(file)

    # [+] To Open PDF from Chrome 
    def open_pdf_chrome(e):
        file = r'file_path' # set pdf file path
        cmd = f'start chrome {file}' # Cmd command to open Chrome
        os.popen(cmd)

        
    container_1= Container(width=500, height=500, border=border.all(2), border_radius=10,
                          on_click=open_pdf_from_defult_app,
                          content=Column([
                              Text('Open pdf file from Defult App You Set To Open Pdf File'),
                              Text('Click Here')
                          ]))
    

    container_2 = Container(width=500, height=500, border=border.all(2), border_radius=10,
                          on_click=open_pdf_chrome,
                          content=Column([
                              Text('Open pdf file from Chrome only'),
                              Text('Click Here')
                              ]))

    page.add(Row([container_1, container_2]))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app(main, view=WEB_BROWSER, port=5880)

Thanks for feedback, unfortunately it's not for local usage it's for a client server app. I meanwhile use my webserver to provide the required pdfs so I can access the files via http://xxxx/yyyy.pdf. This is working. But anyway if there is any way to access directly via file://xxxxx/yyyy/test.pdf would be good to know...
