Attach any information to an Address Book entry
Authored by: dmrogers99 on Oct 11, '04 01:14:55PM

There's another way, as usual.

In the Note: field of an Address Book record, simply insert the pathname to the file you wish to link to, with the prefix "file://"

For example:

file:///users/yourusername/Pictures/100_0040.jpg

Then, just highlight the entry and select Open URL from the Services menu. The document will open in whatever application it's normally opened with.

No messing around with Sharing or creating web pages, just link to the file.

dmrogers99,

I'd looked for a solution like yours, but it didn't occur to me to use services. Your answer also opens folders, which is handy, but still involves selecting text, navigating to a menu and clicking. Is there no other way of putting a hyperlink in?
