SSRS open file link in new tab or window

I have a few reports that show a link to invoices (.pdf files) that are held on our network share.

I use this on the text box property to to action to allow the user to click on it and view the invoice:

="javascript:void(window.open('file:"+Fields!invoice_link.Value+"','_blank'))"

When the report is running, I can hover over the link and the correct link address is displayed in Chrome and Edge :

Hover link

When I click on the link, both EDGE and CHROME do nothing. When I right click and select open in new tab / window - it get this :

enter image description here

This works fine as expected in Internet Explorer - but this is no longer an option.

Things I've done so far :

  • I have allowed popup in both browsers

  • I have added the reportserver site as trusted site in security settings

  • I have added extensions that allow Local file links in the browser

  • I have allowed javascipt to run

Nothing seems to make any difference in opening the link.

I have confirmed that the file that the invoice_link field resolves to is available and accessible.

Does anyone have any other ideas? I can't seem to find anything other than the javascript option to open files
