Thanks for sharing this! I was using triggers to download files but if I changed my folder structure on my PC in any way I would have to relink everything.
Worth noting that if I hide the resources tab in the menu this will break =( I'm not a fan of the resources tab as it just lists everything and there could be loads of links.
Yes, you have to be very careful when linking to files on your computer. Any changes to the file, file name, and/or path can mess things up.
I agree that the Resources tab isn't ideal, especially when there are loads of links.
Instead, consider putting the resource links on a lightboxed slide. That lets you provide more info about what each link is for. And that can still be available via a Player-level tab. This post provides more info:

Yes. This article explains how.
Hi Tom,

But still, very happy and this should help now!
