"I found a work around. Introducing RightLink: http://www.chromeextensionsdotorg/other/rightlink/

Right click the UNC path to open. You may need to enable the option to open local files (as opposed to paths) in the extension's options.

It works on my intranet."

"OK, found a workaround for Chrome.

Go to this link in Chrome. Now when you right click you can open any document.

My link looks like this

file://SERVER/file"

Try this extension then. It bypasses Chrome restriction and allows users to open file & folder directly on Chrome. See if it works for you.
