Open the Client's Desktop Application using a button Click from Browser - Python/HTML

I want to open the desktop application(For eg: Notepad/Powerpoint/Putty). Attaching an image of how it works on sharepoint.

Example image of how Microsoft Teams gets opened on the Click of the button is attached. I need this exact replica. On Clicking Open Microsoft Teams. Teams opens the meeting. Similarly I want to open an already installed desktop app on client's System.

Similarly, I also want to open the Desktop Application of my company which is already installed.

I used Os.Popen module of Python which works locally but, when hosted does not work. Note: OS and webbrowser module were tried.

You cannot open a random application from a browser.

You need to come up with application-specific URL and have the application register as handler for that URL. The URL has to include all details that you need in your application, like:

  • mycustomprotocol://username:password@host
  • mycustomprotocol://call/username

For an example how to implement the handlers, see:

  • HTML code to open PuTTY client from browser or
  • Open PuTTY from a webpage to run a specific command.
