I am trying to create a hyperlink to a file path of a local file on the confluence legacy editor.
File path: file:///\\path\doc title.xlsx
Note: If this path is directly pasted into browser address bar, the "Downloads" pop up opens, where you can then open or save the file to your desktop.
However, when that link is pasted into the Confluence hyperlink macro and published to the page, the link has been automatically encoded to include %5C for backslashes and %20 for spaces: file:///%5C%5Cpath%5Cdoc%20title.xlsx
Unfortunately, the hyperlink now will not open when clicked, and the encoded file path doesn't do anything if manually pasted into browser address bar like before.
What should the file path look like so that the link will work for users reading the page?
