Problem

Is there some emacs lisp code that would automatically find /nfs file paths in the buffer and highlight/link to them? So clicking on them would open that file? Example path: /nfs/foo/bar/file.txt

Fix for: How to get emacs to highlight and link file paths

Low Risk

There's probably a package that does this already, but I don't know of it. This bit of code adds buttons to text it thinks looks like a path to a file. You can add the function to or run it manually (or conditionally).
