It's a local file URL, and relative to the server's filesystem, not its 
public resources. If and only if you're on the server's console will 
that work. You must use a web-accessible URL, which means relative to 
the Zope tree.

If you're in a page in the same folder as the file, simply use the id as 
the (relative) reference. If not, you can use the object's absolute_url 
property.
