Can we use network drive path as hyperlink?

[manalla]

Hi,

We are having a use case -  users need to access a shared drive (local network path) from a report.

We are using on premise report server.

Network file share path is similar to below: 

//<ServerName>/D/TestValidation/Validation.xlsx

Is it possible to open such network path by clicking on some text or text box or button or image from Power bi desktop?

Thanks

Manoj
