Google, "INK. format" and check out the links that apply to you.
That simple.

Your subject line refers to a .lnk file extension and the body of your post refers to a .INK file extension. Which is it? If it is .lnk then it is a link to a file, not a file. In Windows a file name ending with .lnk is a shortcut link to the file. You likely copied over the shortcut rather than the file itself. Therefor you can't open it because it is not there on your Mac.
