opening a file that is outside the workspace in an editor [message #293186]

I would like to open a particular editor with a file that is outside the
workspace.

I have tried the following,

- Open the perspective and editor
- Call IDE.openEditor(activePage, (IFile)resource, true);

The problem is that I can't get an IFile to something that is outside
the workspace.

Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Ok thank you for your time
