When I link a shape to open a path (using the Link shape data field), the file is opened using the application set as default in Windows.
I notice the link can be prefixed with iexplore|, to force it to open with Internet Explorer.
Is there a way to open it with the default browser set in the OS?

Mimicking how you would open the file in your default browser may work, so you can add 'http://' as prefix to your file path.
In my case, it worked fined, based on a file saved in the DataMiner documents folder:

It is also possible to start an application with some arguments.
You could do something similar to start your preferred browser.
Example on opening VLC player:

That indeed does the trick. However the file is on a shared drive, so I I’m unable to get it served by agent’s IIS.
