[FEAT SUGGEST] Configure an 'absoloute path' for each indicies, for convenience

Specifically Web Component please, user interface.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Not related in any way to a problem.

What would you like to see happen?

Disclaimer: I'm a Windows user, sorry.....!
If I go to your demo server and search for: "DH16AAL"
It returns the file: "pain_is_beauty.log"
If I click "i" it will tell me the path is "test_files/text"

I would REALLY love to configure a "real path" name for Windows use for example which will re-syntax the search result.
Example instead of test_files/text

I'd love for the software to also have the following piece of information come up:
"J:\Documents\Files-Used-for-Demo\test_files\text\pain_is_beauty.log"

Simply because I configured the index "[test files]" to have an 'absoloute path' of
"J:\Documents\Files-Used-for-Demo"
(sist2 can parse the rest)

I hope this screenshot, helps clarify what I mean:

Bonus:
"Copy" button for the block of text to the right
Extra Bonus!:
HTML link to actually open the file, from the WebUI, I think the syntax is :
file:///J:/Documents/Files-Used-for-Demo\test_files\text\pain_is_beauty.log
Bonus 3: The shortcut to copy the path or open the file is in the search results, no need to click (i)

I am happy to provide more information and sorry it's so long and potentially confusing
Long story short I want to configure a block of text, once, when configuring an index, which will be added to a new field for search results per object, to let me know where they are, from my desktop.

Bonus if I can open them straight from the WebUI

Thank you for the hard work and good product.

Please note that the "Serve files from this url instead of from disk" is very close to what I'm after to an extent.

Hi, as far I know, you cannot make a browser open files on your disk using file://

You can show the absolute path with a Javascript template string:

${doc.indexRoot}${doc.path}/ and it will show the (UNIX) path as it's mounted on Docker.

Then you can adjust the string to get a Windows path, for example:

J:${doc.indexRoot.replaceAll("/", "\\")}${doc.path.indexRoot.replaceAll("/", "\\")}/ or similar

I opened chrome and simply typed in C:\ in the URL bar to navigate my local system, then right clicked a file, copied the URL to remember the syntax for the file:/// command.
(Hence me assuming it's possible)

That being said, this may be a proprietary internally generated page presented by Google and possibly not standard and wouldn't work for a normal web page? I'm not sure.

As for the java script, thank you, but is there any where I can pop this into the software in order for it to actually do it for me as an end user? (Please)

Thank you for the reply, appreciate it.

I'll try to Google a little more on the file:/// thing and see what I can find out

@jaxjexjox If you click on anything in Chrome when browsing your files, it will download the files into your downloads, not open the file.

What I have done is make a new protocol. And have an intermediary program on the desktop to receive the address via the protocol, validate and clean the address, then open the file.

@jaxjexjox Regarding where you can pop the Javascript into the software for you to use is - you can do this in the Configuration page, copied below. That is the same as the screenshot he attached.
