You will need to add a handler for the cell content clicked Event. If the column is your Link column then get the document path example: (C:\mydoc.txt) Check for the existence of the file at that given path to avoid errors and then open by whatever means are required for that particular file type.

I'm not certain though that I fully understand your question. If you provide more details then maybe it will become a little more clear.
