Has anyone tried Office 2016 yet? Does the OneNote in Office 2016 bring back this function?

I'm an attorney, and I created a great litigation and trial-management system using only OneNote. We put it to use in a large "mass action" case with over fifty plaintiffs and tens of thousands of exhibits. The system allowed us to completely outmaneuver the plaintiffs at trial, and we were able to line up exhibits, deposition citations, and both direct and cross examination questions from a single program. We all credit a great deal of our defense verdict to the system.
The key feature that let us build the various pages for trial quickly was the ability to drag and drop exhibit pdfs into the onenote pages as links to files. Due to the sheer volume of exhibits, as well as the ease of using tables, links were far more effective than inserting the files directly, and certainly more effective than inserting printouts.
With OneNote 2013, this mission-critical feature appears to be missing. I can only insert the file, or insert a printout. I don't want to do either- I want to insert a link. I know that I can insert links using the manual "insert link" function, but that is slower and more error prone than the simplicity of the previous versions. Am I missing a key option to trigger? Or is this a missing feature from OneNote 2013? If the latter, I suspect we will stick with 2010....

nope - doesn't work when run as admin either.
I can copy & paste a link to a file on my computer, but then nothing happens when I klick on it in Onenote.
And this is what the OP was about - inserting links to files into ONeNote pages. Not emails. Although this would also be nice to have.

you probably have it working by now, but if not, then you can..
right click on onenote app, and run as the administrator, this should allow links to work.
