This might not be what you're trying to do, but someone out there may find it helpful:

If you want to share a link (by email for example) to a network file you can do so like this:

file:///Volumes/SomeNetworkFolder/Path/To/file.html

This however also requires that the recipient connects to the network folder in finder --- in menu bar,

Go > Connect to Server

enter server address (e.g. file.yourdomain.com - "SomeNetworkFolder" will be inside this directory) and click Connect. Now the link above should work.
