How does one create (in a Mathematica notebook) a hyperlink to an arbitrary
file (i.e. not to another
Mathematica notebook) without having to give the full path to the file? For
instance, I can successfully open a
file using a link like the one in the following type of text cell, where
"C:\......\file.html" is the full path
of the file (fill in the dots to make the full path), and the file type can
be anything I could normally open on
my computer:
Cell[TextData[ButtonBox["link", ButtonData:>{ URL[ "C:\......\file.html"],
None}, ButtonStyle->"Hyperlink"]],
"Text"]
However, I would like to be able to specify the file path relative to the
notebook's location, because this
would allow me to move the whole directory tree around (to a different disk,
say) without breaking the links.
How can this be done?
