Ah, okay :-)
If I correctly understood what you mean, that should work from local but
I'm afraid that for security reasons it is blocked from remote sites.
Look, if you create a small local html file with this content:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="file:///home/sm01/.xsession-errors">View file</a>
</body>
</html>
And click on the link, it loads the selected file (the uri path needs to
be adjusted, of course).
