I am kinda having a strange requirement. I have a google talk bot & a standalone app installed in the PC. On giving some command to the bot, the bot should be able to send a link clicking on which it opens the app on the desktop.

For eg. I have downloaded an app called MyCalendar. the google bot should give me a link, clicking on which MyCalendar app should open in desktop.

I don’t know if that’s possible really. I have figured one way of doing this by giving the URL of a page on my server opening which it opens the desktop app like how Apple Appstore website opens ITunes.

Is there any there better way to do it?

Thanks

    What you are really asking is: how to register a desktop app to handle custom url scheme?

    This is really OS dependent:
