Currently open a local file from Desktop is not possible and from browser is very tedious as explained on May 2017 update:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/#urlTables
"If you want to use file URLs, there are some limitations. They will not open in the Power BI Desktop, only in web browsers. For most browsers, you will need to right click on the link, copy the link address, and paste the URL in a new tab"
It will be great if can be improved the way to open the files in same way as with web images or files (http://).

Please all file path URLs to open from Power BI VisualisationsPlease allow folder paths to be searched and URLs to be queried in Power Query.These are very basic but very useful core action that allow dashboards to be more usable than just a reference tool and are basic items developed in VBA that NEED to be implemented into POWER BI ASAP!!!!!Please priorities these very basic and simple inclusions with PowerBI!

I just spent an hour trying to get a simple URL to work only to find out Power BI doesn't have this basic functionality and there was nothing wrong with my code.
