EXposing File Location on Server

I have a requirement from our sales team. In a previous Share Point instillation, the server address for a file was exposed and it allowed them to copy and paste that address into an outlook e-mail. When out look processed the paste, it would see the file server location being pasted in and automatically attach the file. I would like to expose the file location on the networked server to the users so they can accomplish the same task. In this case, it's going to be a literal drive location that I will need to modify to expose as a server location. E.g. c:/aras/vault/en/1/itemid/file.extension is processed to //server/aras/vault... Issues related to doing this will also be appreciated. I realize ARAS is managing the file structure, but I need to get that file out. If my users download the file to their local machine, there is a strong possibility that they will continue to send the local file instead of pulling a newly updated file from ARAS. If I expose a server location, I make the copy paste operation manageable and keep them looking at the most recent version of the file.
