To open a file with editor you have to simply pass file path including file protocol prefix in fileUrl parameter to editor url.
Like this:
http://localhost:8081/editor?fileUrl=file:////home/andrea/Documents/My%20Drawings/test.dwg
Please note that only view-only mode is supported when opening file from disk. It is required to open a file through API server if you want to open it in editing mode.
