Open visio hyperlink by double-clicking it

[YM]

I've created a hyperlink in Visio that links to a Powerpoint presentation.
However, when I double-click the icon, nothing happens. I have to right
click the icon and then select the Powerpoint file to open it. Is there a
way to just open the Powerpoint presentation by double-clicking the hyperlink
icon? Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
