Is it possible to link a hyperlink to a file on your hard drive, such as a Word file or a page in OneNote 2016, so that you can access it with just a click?
Yes, you will find details on how to do this in the user manual, in §4.6, Creating Hyperlinks to Files.
Note that with file types Scapple doesn’t import from (anything other than most image formats and text files), you can also just drag and drop the file into the board to create a link to it automatically.

Wow, I never new this, fantastic, thanks
Yeah, now combine that idea with dragging Scapple files into a board. Everyone asking for “project managers” and “notebook sidebars” should consider that you can organise your Scapple documents with Scapple!

4.6 Creating Hyperlinks to Files
….
To manually create a link to a file, follow these instructions:
1. 2. Create a note and type in the title of the link as normal text.
Select the text that will become the hyperlink, and use the Edit ▸ Add Link…
(⌘ K) menu command.
3. In the text field where the URL will be added, type in the file protocol:
“file://” with no spaces after it.
4. Drag and drop the file or folder you wish to link to into the text box. The full path will be printed in as part of the URL.
5. Click the OK button.
Now you can click the link to load the item in its native program.
