Yes you can create the html file, upload via properties > media and quota,
select the file and grab the url from there and add that to your new window
page adjusting the dimensions to suit.

 

I quickly tested on page 2 of the same lo I used earlier

Would this be possible

1.	Create simple HTML page with Embedded code > Stream.html
2.	New Window page
3.	Upload Stream.html to Media folder
4.	New property > local URL   > Link to local page Stream.html by
FileLocation + 'media/Stream.html' etc which resolves to a proper web
address
5.	image clicked loads new window which then activates the embedded
stream code.  

I don't know if this is easily achievable or even desirable to access local
files from browser (could not figure out the local reference in XOT in New
window > url ) but in principle seems no different to accessing other
uploaded media files except it is displaying a HTMl  file in a new HTML
window.

Would use of the 'new window page' be a solution, rather than a dedicated
page.  Similar to my question re using "new window page" for
streaming/embedding from box.net ?



 

A new window with a simple link would be better than nothing.
