title: Launch a local application when clicking a link
body: <p>I'm developing an internal web application, that allows me to store remote control credentials for my customers. Every time I want to connect to a customers computer, I need to start the remote support software, copy&amp;paste username and password and then hit the "start" button. The software would have command line arguments available, that allow me to start a session immediately, however, I don't know how to start the .exe from within my browser application.</p>
  
  <p>What are the options to launch a local application from a link in a web application?</p>
