Alright, I'm accepting defeat... I've tried for hours and consulted all the posts on this subject - yet the URL just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Open URL

I started with a GetAsText (container with reference)

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Never this filepath business... it's just not worth it. I've used a technique COMMENT described in this thread:

Here it is again:

Freeze Window

Go to Field [ YourTableTable::Container Field ]

[ Select/perform ]

Go to Field [ ]

Works like a charm!

I think you have one too many // behind the filemac://
