 If you have the required Chrome or Edge plugin and the Windows integration module, the link should open the folder (or file) according to the path.

 ===== Discussion =====
-//Feel free to add your comments here.//
+I realized now that this exact same result can be achieved using the built-in interwiki functionality.  To do this, add to to the ''interwiki.local.conf'' file in the ''conf'' folder the folloiwng line:
+''lexp localexplorer:{NAME}''
+If you don't like the default icon, you can upload an icon for your links.  If so, it needs to be called ''
+lexp.png'', ''lexp.gif'', or ''lexp.svg''.
+Format your links as follows:  ''**<nowiki>[[lexp></nowiki>**//path//**<nowiki>|</nowiki>**//title//**<nowiki>]]</nowiki>**'' where the italicized text is replaced by your text and the //**[title]**// is optional (as indicated by the square brackets).
+I'm leaving this plugin up because I think a lot of people might not be aware that you can get this functionality using Dokuwiki and the Local Explorer browser extension.
