Enable OS file browser links

Could the "file://" protocol be added to $wgUrlProtocols in LocalSettings.php?

Looks like there was a fair amount of discussion on the internet over the past decades on how to handle file:// links, but now it seems that after some configuration, the most popular browsers support it.

It may require some explanation (or linking out to some explanation) about how to enable it in browsers firefox] (from a quick search, there's probably a better one somewhere else) and the same for warnings.

I don't foresee that happen since we don't really gain anything by doing so, and it could add additional confusion or security concerns for users unaware of what they enable in their browser.

Gotcha. Just gains convenience, being able to click links to game files instead of copy/replacing/pasting into file browsers.
