This plugin creates a localexplorer link directly to files stored in your local Windows system. It requires the Local Explorer Chrome extension plus their Windows integration module in order to work.
Installation
I tested this and it seems to work, but no guarantees. This requires both Local Explorer Chrome plugins and Windows integration modules, which I did not write and have no responsibility for. They work for me, but use at your own risk!
External requirements: This plugin requires the following additional components that must be installed separately:
Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
Examples/Usage
Links look like this:
[[localexplorer>C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\|Documents folder]]
[[localexplorer>C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\book.pdf|Book in Documents Folder]]
This is rendered to HTML as:
<a href="localexplorer:C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\">Documents folder</a>
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.
Syntax
[[localexplorer>path|title (optional)]]
Development
I created this using ChatGPT, so I'm not sure I can help you if you have any suggestions or issues.
