linking files in forum messages?

i am new to Moodle (wow, open source at its best, IMO!) and have searched the documentation and relevant forums and haven't been able to find an answer to a question. is it possible to hyperlink text in a forum (i.e., hyperlink one of these words) to a file that has been uploaded to the site files section? i suspect one could do it through the "insert web link" command, but i was wondering if there was an easier way to do it?

thanks!

As a student you need to know the URL, but if you try it as a teacher you will see a button to "Browse course files" which makes it very simple to do exactly what you've asked.
