Is there a quick way to create a hyperlink to open microsoft office document in an existing email chain?

Question

I often find that I am working on a Microsoft Office document (spreadsheet, slideshow, word document, etc) while I have an email chain open in Outlook and I want to create a hyperlink in the email to the document that is open. What I do now is open Windows Explorer, navigate to the saved document and right-click drag into the email chain where I select "Create Hyperlink Here". Is there a way to accomplish this without having to open Windows Explorer and navigate to the containing folder? (Maybe something similar to the way proxy icons work on the Mac?)

Answer 1

You don't need to open Windows Explorer, but you still need to browse for that file.

Press "Ctrl+K" to open Insert Hyperlink window and browse for the file.
