add the enhanced code below， which no need the special format for the file path

async function OpenLocalPath(event) {

if (event.ctrlKey) {
var path = event.target.innerText.trim();
console.log(>> ctrl + double_click get line content:\n${path})
//------ Check if the text content contain a file path. ------
if (/[A-Z]:\./.test(path)) {
var path = path.match(/[A-Z]:\./)[0]
// --- replace the special string
path = path.replace("USER",require('os').userInfo().username)

        console.log(`>> Open local path: ${path}`)
        // Use the PathLinkerApi to open the file at the path.
        await document.PathLinkerApi.runAsyncOnBackendWithManualTransactionHandling(async (path) => { 
            const shell = require('electron').shell;
