# Files, Links, & Scripts

Quickly open links and files or run scripts with your mouse.

## Files & links

Warp supports opening files, folders, and URL links that are within Blocks. Multiple URL protocols are supported e.g. `https`, `ftp`, `file`, etc. Warp can open files and folders in a variety of editors and opens web links directly in your default browser. Warp can also open markdown files directly with a [Markdown Viewer](/terminal/more-features/markdown-viewer/).

Note

Warp also supports iTerm2 and Kitty Image protocols on macOS and Linux. You will need to use a CLI tool to view images, in some cases the tools expect `$TERM=kitty`, so you may need to workaround this by setting `TERM=kitty` before the command. We’re working on updating the popular tools to recognize Warp natively.

Warp parses relative and absolute file paths. Warp also tries to capture line and column numbers attached to the file path, supported formats include:

-   `file_name:line_num`
-   `file_name:line_num:column_num`
-   `file_name[line_num, column_num]`
-   `file_name(line_num, column_num)`
-   `file_name, line: line_num, column: column_num`
-   `file_name, line: line_num, in`

1.  After hovering over a link, open it directly by holding down `CMD` while clicking it.
2.  Clicking a link normally will open a clickable tooltip that says “Open File/Folder/Link”.
3.  Right-clicking a link will open a context menu that supports copying the absolute file path or URL to the clipboard.

-   You can also right-click on a folder or file in Finder, then select Services, and “Open new Warp Tab | Window here”.
-   Configure the default editor to open files by navigating to **Settings** > **Features** > **General** > **Choose an editor to open file links**.
    -   Selecting “Default App” uses your system’s default application for the file type.
