Create hyperlinks to local files in Numbers
Authored by: afingal on Dec 06, '10 12:45:11PM

If you're going to enable Apache for purposes like this, make sure that you enable the firewall in the Security preference pane and remove access to Apache. Otherwise, you are opening an avenue for attack. This bad if you're not going to monitor Apache logs and keep on top of security as a web master would.

Create hyperlinks to local files in Numbers

Agreed 100%. While this solution would seem to be designed for personal use (you can't send these Numbers workbooks to someone else and have them use the links, without sending them the files and having them set up Apache also), it's entirely possible one would do this on a corporate LAN. And if you've got a script kiddie in your company checking for open ports on the network, this would be a pretty easy way to hack into your Mac.
