The Help says:
On a diagram to a file
To create a hyperlink on a diagram to an external file, simply click on the file in a file list (such as Windows Explorer) or on your Desktop and drag it onto the diagram.
A short context menu displays with two options - 'Hyperlink' and 'Artifact'. Click on the 'Hyperlink' option to create the hyperlink on the diagram.
The link is effective immediately, and you can right-click on it to add or change properties as necessary.
Files of most types - including .sql and .ddl - are opened within the appropriate Enterprise Architect code editor.
I tried to drag a number of different types of files onto a diagram. All I got was the "No go" glyph. What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Paolo

Not sure, it seems to work fine for me.
Is your diagram locked somehow?

Also worked for me (using a .pdf), v14.0.1420

I was trying it on our corporate SQL Server repository with User Security enabled (but diagram editable). I've now tried it on an unsecured .EAP file and a .EAP clone of the Corporate repository, they both work. I can't get at the Corporate Repository, while I'm on the bus, but I'll try later.
Thanks for the pointer.

[Edit: Rebooted system and restarted EA on the Corporate repository. All good now. I noticed EA was in a funny state previously (it seemed to lock up the diagram while demonstrating Virtual Connector Ends - so maybe that was the reason]
