Link to a file on server with the same name as a field element

[enrb]

Good morning,

I have a list with several fields, including a code field

For each code I also have a PDF file (named with the same code) saved in a folder on the server.

Is it possible to create a link type element that directly opens the file with the same name as the code field?

Example:

CODE FILE_LINK
ABC /ABC.pdf
00h1 /00h1.pdf
dtr543 /drt543.pdf

Where or what is the "code"? You're saying "name of a field element" and "name of the code field", both of which are column names in a database table, practically speaking.
I suspect, though, that you really mean the values stored for an element of type field. Right? Well, for that you have Fabrik placeholders. That is, if it's in the same list and row. If not, you might need a query to fetch the values from somewhere else in the DB. In any case, a calc element is able to do either, so that might be your best friend for this.

Or you can add a "Custom link" in your code field (List view settings/List settings)
