---------------------------------------------------A related option that might work depending on the browser used is webdav, but actually it would need to call a local file manager to do the lifting:Here's an example setup via ownCloud and KDE / Dolphin (just as an example):One would hope that the functionality would be wired into the protocol (webdav:// or webdavs://) so if a link is crafted with it, the appropriate file manager launches to handle it.---

As I said the last time you posted this about a year ago: If you have
an HTML file on your local disk opened with Konqueror, and that HTML
file has a <a href="path/to/file.txt">link like this</a>, you can
right-click on that link and get a KDE menu where one of the choices is
"Open with". Kate and kwrite are choices available here. While this is
not a single-click solution, it's a heck of a lot easier than almost
anything else anyone has mentioned.

See above. When the HTML file and the files it's linking to are all on
a local filesystem, as is the case here, the rules get relaxed.
