Hi, Anthony. Try this:

1) Right click on an org file in Finder.
2) Select "Get Info"
3) Change the default "Open with" application to Aquamacs (or Cocoa
Emacs, whatever you use)
4) Click the "Change All" button. Confirm.
5) When you want to add a link, use the following syntax.

    file://localhost/path/to/some/file.org

HTH,
Jeff
