if you click a link to file:///123.45.67.89:69420/files-download/virus.exe it will download and run virus.exe from that IP address
it still works, but now there is a “Dangerous Link Location: This is not a web link and may lead to the execution of malicious code” warning, but previously it would silently run the file.
