How to make Ctrl-click work in Visual Studio Code when paths in source code don't match paths in filesystem?

Question

My access to the filesystem for our web server starts one folder deeper than the web server's root. So relative paths in our HTML look like this, for example:

<link href="/division/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />

But the path to that same file in my filesystem is:

s:\css\style.css

So whenever I CTRL-click on something in the editor I get an error because VScode is trying to open:

s:\division\css\style.css

But that doesn't exist. EDIT 1: my path does not include \division

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I've googled for hours and haven't found a solution to resolve this, such as a filter that strips "\division" from the filesystem paths or a mapping setting that tells VScode that relative path "/division" exists at S:.

EDIT 2: The division folder exists in the root of the share, and you can't map a drive to the root of a share ( \\server\, while allowed in explorer, isn't allowed in drive mappings). Neither would VScode allow me to open \\server\ as a folder. I tried creating a folder placeholder folder on my local drive containing another folder called division with a symlink inside that to \\server\division, while this looked like it worked in VScode, CTRL-Clicking on a link wouldn't work, it says the file doesn't exist. It looked like it wouldn't follow symlinks.

Have you added the source folder to your workspace? I'd expect this to work – Disqualify

@ChatterOne, I think I'm lacking the knowledge to fully understand your question. Using the example in my question, what would be the "source folder" and how would I add it to my workspace? – Bespeak

I'm talking about the menu in "File -> Add folder to workspace..." . I mean: are you just opening the file? If you use Ctrl-P (or Command-P on Mac), are you able to search through the files? – Disqualify

I had originally done it a bit differently, but I did it that way as well. The other part of my question is what did you mean as the "source" folder. I added "S:" which maps to "\\server\division". But as the links in the HTML link to "/division/css/style.css" when I try to ctrl-click them it tries to open "S:\division\css\style.css" which is not a valid path (my real path to that file does not include "\division". As the division folder is in the root of the server's share ("\\server\") I can't map to it (you can't map without a folder. And vscode will not accept \\server\ as a folder to open – Bespeak
