App crashes when using Application.OpenURL with a local file

Here's my C# code on Hololens:
Application.OpenURL("file://"+ Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "file.pdf"));
This is supposed to open Microsoft Edge with the URL "file://C/Data/.../file.pdf" But the app crashes when running this code.
It doesn't crash with any other HTTP URLs though.
How can I let Edge know I want to open a local file?

I don't think you need the file:// on UWP. That is for android.

Hey, @AdrienN
Best practice is to use Path.Combine() instead of constructing paths yourself. It will take care of all the platform specific prefixes, appendices, delimiters, slashes, backslashes etc.
string fileFullPath = Path.Combine(Applicaiton.streamingAssetPath, "file.pdf");Building the future of holographic navigation. We're hiring.
