Link to file on Windows shared drive with iPhone

Question

I want to send an HTML email with a link in them. The link should open files from a shared Windows drive. Users will already be connected to the network via VPN.

I tried

<a href="file:///\\server\shared_data\Test\Test_Report.pdf">Test Report</a>

This works great when opened on a PC, but I can't figure out how to open it on the iPhone, although users access the network through the VPN client on their phone.

I am open to using third-party solutions
