I want to open files from webpage. For example when we try to download a torrent file it redirects us to utorrent app and it continues it work. I also want to open a local file somehow using OS software. Like a video file using pot player. Is there any possible solution for me ,like making a autorun in pc to run that . Anything it may be please help me.😔😔
I searched and found a solution to open a software using protocol, but in this way I cannot open a file in that software.
Opening a specific file in a specific software would usually depend on passing some URL parameters to the protocol-URL of the app (e.g., opening a file in VSCode would use a URL like vscode:///Users/me/file.html, but this functionality would have to be explicitly handled by the app itself though, so the solution for each app would be different).
Otherwise, if the app doesn't support opening a specific file itself through a URL, you'd have to use some scripting software (e.g. AppleScript if you're on macOS) to dynamically click/open certain programs on a user's computer.
