+ * \b Platform \b Specific \b Issues: \b Windows \n
+ * With "file:" based URIs on Windows, you may encounter issues with
+ * anchors being ignored. Example: "file:///c:/some/index.html#anchor"
+ * may open in the browser without the "#anchor" suffix. The behavior
+ * seems to vary across different Windows versions. Workaround: open a link
+ * to a separate html file that redirects to the desired "file:" URI.
