I have a nasty feeling you're trying to do something a very bizarre and
bad way, but on the basis that you seem to want to link to a file on
your local file system:

how about either using <a href="file://[% myvar %]">listen</a> or
having file:// already in myvar.

However, the fact that file:// (or dropping http://) seems to be in your
solution anywhere at all is really setting alarm bells ringing.
