That's very fast, like in a dream, no? ;-)

Now it seems I can't do this anymore, i.e the document to which the hyperlink refers to is just selected in Finder, the document itself is not opened.

Yes. Apple changed the behaviour, presumably in fear of a possible security problem.

Martin & co. are aware of the inconvenience, so possibly they will do something to get the feature back in a future version of NWP.

In the meantime, perhaps you may find the macro below useable as a work around.


# Run the macro with the insertion point somewhere in a text having hyperlink.
# This macro misbehaves for urls containing % (e.g. %20 instead of a space).

$sel = TextSelection.active
$attr = $sel.text.displayAttributesAtIndex $sel.location
if Defined $attr.link
	Open URL $attr.link
	# open file with a default app for the file type
	# this comand works in a way similar to /usr/bin/open
else
	exit 'No url link in the selection, exiting...'
end
