Question

I want to achieve the following:

Create a WPF DataGrid that have 2 columns:

The first will have items showing paths to directories, in a hyperlink style. Cli

Answer 1

This works universally:

private void DG_Hyperlink_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Hyperlink link = (Hyperlink)e.OriginalSource;
    Process.Start(link.NavigateUri.AbsoluteUri);
}

If the URI points a website it will be opened with the default web-browser, if it is a folder it will be opened in explorer, if it is a file it will be opened with the default application associated with it.

To use this for autogenerated columns your property needs to be of type Uri so a DataGridHyperlinkColumn is generated. You then can hook up the event by placing the style in the DataGrid.Resources:
