Can you tell me what version of Citrix you are running and what version
of the client?  I was unable to reproduce this with Metaframe
Presentation Server 3.0 and the Java 8.0 client.  You might check the
version of the Citrix client you are running.  The current Widnows
version is 8.0.  My WYSE terminals shipped with version 7.1 of the ICA
client.  There is a download available to upgrade to the version 8
client.

I was wondering if anyone has seen this and if there is a fix 
for this.
basically this is what's happening.
We have a test citrix environment serving couple apps.
The clients can either connect using the windows ica client 
or thru a WYSE
terminal.
In both case the same thing happens.
One particular app that we provide is MS word.
I discovered that if you insert a link into the work document 
such as "c:\"
and click on it.
Citrix freaks out, then gives you the desktop of the citrix server.
From there you can do access what ever programs you want.

Any ideas on how to fix this??

Thanks.
