Thank you, Hannah.

I'm posting this response I received from a consultant in a different forum in case someone else runs into the same issue.

From the box, this is not possible.

Laserfiche is not a file server; it is a document content management solution.

And the way the documents are saved in the real folder in the background does not permit you to use the link to an office document inside another document. Because the folder structure is only known to the database as a pointer to the document, the name of the document is not the real one.

There is a security reason behind this.

To allow this, the Laserfiche server needs to be activated as a WebDAV, but this is complex and not necessary to work all the time; it is not really stable.

In a nutshell, this is not possible.
