Actually the current version of Calibre Does *NOT* do what it once did

Specifically i had a long text column with a file location in it ( ZAB = Zipped Audio Books elsewhere on my network with the text displayed "Click to Play" which then played ZAB files with my audio player ((VLC plays zipped audiobooks Added to the registry to always play zab with vlc))

as far as i can tell (on 3 different computers xp/w7/w8) it no longer does that
@Marcs1102 - How did you put the link into your longtext column in earlier version.

I dont have ZAB files but I have flv files that I play with VLC, it works in Calibre 9.13 on Win 7 and Linux (Mint) - sample HTML.

Code:
<div><a href="file:///E:/Economics/History
/The%20History%20Of%20Austrian%20Economics%201.flv/">The History Of Austrian Economics 1</a><p></p></div>
Note it must be "file:///" - in other places a "file://" will work but Calibre seems to need the triple slash.

I created that with the Insert Link widget in the Long Text Editor - it has fields for the URI and Link Name. The button is the last of the middle group.
