How to open a Hyperlink field in ArcGIS Portal or AGOL

Question

Good morning, Is there a way to open an Hyperlink field? May be using Experience Builder? All documents related to a project are stored in the corresponding folder: server/storage folder/project number. For example, all documents related to project 100 will be stored in folder: \server\project\100 then in the FC for project 100 there is a field called DocPath with the value: file:///\\\ This is a hyperlink field, so it can be clicked in ArcGIS Pro and it opens the specific folder. In a WebMap it does not work. How can I do the same thing in Agis Portal/ AGOL? Thanks

Yes, if you are able to host the Python script as a geoprocessing service.

Hi @JakeSkinner    @BlakeTerhune

Is there a way to call  a geoprocessing Python tool from the Popup Window that will open File Explorer.  Folder passed as  parameter.

import os
path = "\\server\folder\project"
path = os.path.realpath(path)
os.startfile(path)

It's a browser thing. It seems modern browsers prevent this intentionally for security. You could try some browser extensions to allow it (at your own risk).
