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://).

This would increase the quality of my Power BI reports as well!

I think this feature would really add to the interactivity of PowerBI at the moment the file URL feature is limited to the point of being useless.

Is this a limitation of the service itself, or a security feature in modern browsers?
