    Hi @sachk1 ,

    Assuming you have a field "linking" the Library item to the list record (I use a field called IDRef which is the ID of the List item the file "belongs" to, you can have a Gallery with the Items (aassuming you have the List ID available)

    Filter(
     LibraryName,
     IDRef = YourListID
    )

    and then in the gallery a button or icon

    Launch(ThisItem.'Link to item')

    @sachk1 ,

    You need a field in the metadata of the Library set to the linking field such as what I suggested. This is generally set when the file is created.
