tags | link to a file

On windows:

file:///C:/path/to/the/file

Ref:- https://zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Links.html → “File Links” section

Reasons on why I use Zim:

• Zim : (vim, notepad++) :: book : page :: “collection of documents” : “single document” :: directory : file .
  For example, you can have links in one page that point to another page. But all the pages belong to a single notebook.
• Files are stored in plain text
• Open source
• Written in python
• Works in both Linux and Windows.
