Drag&Drop a file link

With the Notes client it is possible to drag and drop a file into a rich text field. How can i make this for a link. I don`t want to store the whole file in the notes document, only a link to a share on a file server. The “create hotspot thing” is all too much for users.

I know that this will not work with clients on diferent platforms, that the file may be moved later, that mailing this may not work, … but i need this for a specific Notes application.

right click the file and choose create shortcut. This will create a shortcut icon in the same folder, drag/drop this shortcut (link) to the rich text field.

Ok, that is a possibility. Still less experienced users will have problems (when creating a link on a read-only share the link will appear on the desktop), but much more easier then the other way. Thank you.
