Link to documents on local network server in popup

Question

I have documents that need to be linked to a field in a popup. The path is a local network drive not a url, example:

Z://theimportantdocs/theyarehere

I know that links in popups seems to only accept http (url paths). To get these documents linked should I go into IIS and create a VirtualFolder associated with the above pathname. Then insert the url of the VirtualFolder in the attribute expression? or is there another method? I am not sure, but would a UNC path work?

Typically, yes.  You use IIS to create a virtual folder to the network drive (can point the virtual folder to the UNC path), then use the https path of the virtual folder(s) for the link.
