Not natively - you'd have to use a Java applet or an ActiveX control (if you
don't care about cross-browser compatibility), which would require a fair
amount of effort with the browsers' security settings...

Years ago (I don't know if anti-malware issues now prevent this) I sort of
solved this by:
a) registering some extension as "handled by my winform program"
b) have the link point to some dummy file with that extension
