While it is true that Firefox can prevent it, it does not explain the behavior of Jira.
If creating a simple html page without any javascript but only a simple link alike
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Local File Link</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Local File Link</h1>
<p>This is a link to a local file:</p>
<a href="file:///D:/Pictures/Screenshots/2024-06-11_13-36-07.png">Link to local file</a>
</body>
</html>
I can convince Firefox to open the link.
If you look at the code of Jira it looks different:
<a data-testid="link-with-safety" href="file:///D:\Pictures\Screenshots\2024-06-11_13-36-07.png" title="file:///D:\Pictures\Screenshots\2024-06-11_13-36-07.png" data-renderer-mark="true" class="css-tgpl01">A screenshot</a>
In addition there is a event linked to "click"
So it is ACTIVE coding from Atlassian side which eventually prevents us from putting links to local files opening on click.
