Open mailto link in outlook(Web version) - outlook

I have mail in outlook(web version) which contains mailto link How should I open that link in outlook itself?

Finally I found alternate way for mailto in OWA on this blog.
Outlook Web Access expects a link such as this:
<a href='https://col125.mail.live.com/?page=Compose&to=someone#example.in'>someone#example.in</a>

The Office JavaScript API (OfficeJS) doesn't provide anything for triggering built-in commands or saving attachments as a user to the disk. See Get attachments of an Outlook item from the server for more information.

How to open Outlook Contact or Calendar from an email link or webpage?

Is it still possible to use Outlook URLs to open Open Outlook items such as Calendars or Contacts as per the below article...
How to open Outlook Calendar from an email link or webpage?
If you register the Outlook protocol like described in the Shortcuts and the Missing Outlook:// Protocol article you can open items.
You can link to a globally unique identifier (EntryID) that is created for an item and doesn’t change when you rename or move it:
Outlook:000000000EAE44133243899468AC478B31C0BANDHEWR324
It is best to use the GUID URL since you don’t have to worry about changes breaking the link. If you are after a outlook message, all you have to do is select that message in outlook, and then left-click on the linker icon on the lower right of the taskbar so that the link will get copied. Next, you will just have to paste it somewhere. It works the same way for contacts and even calendar events.

Open URL in Microsoft Teams tab

I want to open a link in the static tab from a bot conversation. I used deep linking for this and created a link like https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/{TeamsAppId}/{TeamsTabId}?webUrl={myURL}.
The problem is that it opens the URL first in the browser asking with which app to open it with. Then, I have to click "Open in Microsoft Teams" and it opens it in the MS Teams tab.
How can I get rid of this and open the URL directly in the tab?
The manifest part that creates the static tab is
"staticTabs": [{
"entityId": "com.my.tab",
"name": "MyTab",
"contentUrl": "https://dev.my.com/#/start",
"scopes": [ "personal" ]
}],
In the example above, TeamsTabId is com.my.tab.
Related to this annoying feature, is Outlook Microsoft Teams links first opening in a browser tab. Anyone coming here please add your vote to the uservoice request to remove that:
Deep links in bot conversations only work from card buttons today, not the text. We will fix that at some point but we don't have a date to share.
Instead of https, try replacing it with msteams. It will directly open in MS-Teams app.
When you use msteams prefix, instead of https, the prompt menu will show like :
If you open these links from within Teams, it does not show the intermediate browser page (which we call a launcher page). But if you open it from a web page or an email message for example, you will see the launcher page.
Deep links work across all devices but there’s no way to avoid the intermediate launcher page on Windows/Mac.

How can I create a download link in a joomla article?

I want to create a download link for a PDF file in a Joomla (version 2.5) article. For example, it will be written that please click here to download this file... I already uploaded the file to the media manager and its location is already set. I also already tried to create a link in the article for it. When I click the link, I get an error message of my hosting company. What should I do?
Thank you.
I think that I fixed it. Inside the edit/insert link button (in article page's editor), there is link url field and I type the url as /images/pdf/documentName.pdf and now when I click the link, the pdf document is opened in pdf view format and it is downloadable by default.

Open MIME type in Firefox via online software

How can I tell Firefox to open a MIME type using an online software?
For instance: When clicking on a link to a Word document I want Firefox to take the URL and call https://docs.google.com/viewer?url= and pass the URL of the Word document to the parameter "url". I know there are addins like "Google Docs Viewer", but I'm looking for a general way which is possible for several different online applications.
I did not find a Firefox Addin that handles this general case. Do I need to implement a Firefox Addin for that or can this be handled by the Firefox MIME types?
Use Open IT Online firefox-addon, it adds a new option to Downloads dialog to open the file in Google Docs.
or use Google Docs Viewer for right-click context menu.
