The community user BISK came up with a solution to replace the file path with some HTML or URI encoding. Basically, the solution its a double URI encoded string of the path we need. We can solve this with using the encodeUriComponent() function in an expression twice. Sample: encodeUriComponent(encodeUriComponent('/Source/MyFolder/MyFiles with a + sign....
