Thread:Extension talk:WYSIWYG/Get the FileLink extension to work with WYSIWYG

Hi,

I ran into the 'known' problem that WYSIWYG (ckeditor) is not compatible with the FileLink extension. The FileLink extension supports links to local files though a file:// url. After some research in a 5 year old FCKeditor thread, it seems to me that the support for this type of file link urls should be part of the 'link' plugin from within ckeditor. The FileLink extension should not be mixed with ckeditor.

Unfortunately, I was unable to apply the ideas to my installation of the WYSIWYG extension. The code has changed too much since then. My question: Has anyone tried to get file links working in WYSIWYG? How would one go after such a modification?
