How to create a weblink to open a osx desktop application?

I was wondering is it possible to create a web link so that when a user click's on it, it will open up a OSX applicat开发者_C百科ion - How could I make like in terminal - open myapp.app

Or am I violating some OSX rule?

If you want to open your app, one way is to make your app handle a URL scheme, say x-my-app-scheme://. This can be done following the methods described in this Apple document. You also need to set CFBundleURLTypes in your Info.plist, as described there. Then in your web page, make an href to x-my-app-scheme://foo.

You can't open an arbitrary app from a link in a web site. That would be a grave security hole; consider using that behavior from a Javascript.
