In Visio how can I link a shape to a word file

[BB1066]

I am creating a flowchart and would like to know if I can use the Shapes as
buttons and get them to link to a word file stored on a drive?

Select the shape then from the 'Insert' menu select 'Hyperlinks'.

I tried that but its not that user friendly as it is a bit tricky to open the
linl. Whta I was hoping was to find a way to activate the link by double
clicking on the shape itself.
