How to set the scheme tomcat?

I have an application that is use to download files from a file repository that is not located on the BI server. The application does use a universe on the BI server to locate the files in the repository. It is crazy to me that something as simple as creating a link is so time consuming. I could have used a formattedtext to accomplish this in minutes however, formattedtext does not allow the <a> tag. I have come across limitations like this on almost everything i have done in Design Studio and Lumira Designer. It seems to me that all the restrictions of the javascript and components stifle innovation. I'm not sure why the developers of DS and LD feel the need to be so restrictive. I’m trying to get the SDK and samples working with Lumira Designer but have been unsuccessful. I can only find instruction for Design Studio. I have had Design Studio SDK working for a while now. Is there a new SDK I have to download and new documentation on setting it up? I’m unable to find anything but the SDK for Lumira Discover.

The part of a URL before the : is called the "scheme". Examples include "http", "https", "ftp", as well as "file".

The scheme tells the browser "what to do" with the rest of the URL, different schemes can have different formats after the :.

All I need to know is what config file to edit and the syntax to use. I need to allow Tomcat to serve local file request:

<a href="file://///server/Attachments/area/17-00123/">CaseFolder</a>

This was working before we upgraded Tomcat, so I know it is possable.

This is what I have found so far.
