Is it possible to insert a link to a folder on windows desktop “\Foldername”?

Not currently, but this sort of linking has been discussed before so I imagine it will be done eventually if someone has the time to do it.

check out this post: [Support for links to local file? - #21 by TSeral](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/support-for-links-to-local-file/279/21)  
example from the linked post:

> [PDF file](file:///Users/username/Documents/test.pdf)

that's a file link but it does work for me like this as well:  
`[folder](file://C:/Users/username/Downloads/)`

it doesn't work without `C:` for me.
