Is there a way to click windows fileshare links in macos? My company (like many others) primarily uses Windows computers and as such has a lot of Windows-based fileshares. We have also standardized which fileshares map to which lettered drives on those PCs, so everyone has the same "F" drive. 

I know that I can use the "connect to server" functionality using the smb: protocol to connect to them. However, a lot of our intranet websites and emails have links that just point to "F:/docs/some/files". When I am using my mac I can't click on those links because Macos doesn't know how to handle them.

Is there some way to configure Macos, or some app I can install, which will automatically handle those links and map them to the appropriate smb: path?
There is a wonderful free tool called WinShortcutter for Mac that allows you to do exactly what you're wanting.

Winshortcutter can be found here: http://winshortcutter.com/

After installing, you can change a setting in the Mac services screen to allow this as a right click option as well.
