Thank you for the helpful summary of how to link items to Reminders.
Regarding linking files, I have added it in the way you showed for Txt files (using share in the context menu) and PDF files (by constructing the link (file:///Users/victor/Desktop/test.pdf)).
On clicking on the link in Reminders, the result is always the same, e.g., "The application “Reminders” does not have permission to open “text.txt”."
Victor: When you select the file test.pdf in the Finder, and choose File, Get Info. Under General, what does it show next to "Where?"

Thank you for the response. This is what is shown: /Users/victor/Desktop.
I have tried the text and pdf files with the appropriate URLs in several different locations, all with the same error message. In case it helps, my account is an admin one.

Is there a way of overcoming this?

Victor: Sorry, I don't know why it isn't working for you then.
