Hello,
We use xlsx files with a lot of file:// hypertext link. There is a warning window every time you click.

Would it be possible to add a whitelist feature?

Thanks

Hi, @Benoit33260
To check what can be done in your case, please send:

  • A sample .xlsx file that reproduces the issue (with non-sensitive data).
  • A short screen recording (or at least a screenshot) showing: clicking the file:// link → the warning window text → what happens after you confirm.
