You can have a look at the file src/chrome/browser/external_protocol_handler.cc
maybe that's what you want. Regards James From: Michelon, Philippe Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 3:48 PM To: Wei, James; [email protected] Subject: RE: launching apps from Chrome Well, rather than using xdg-open and use mimetypes, I was looking for how to add new protocol handlers. For example to have url of that form "dummy://......." This would start a given application associated to this "dummy" protocol. Pretty much like apt in Ubuntu where you declare links in web pages like this apt://.... And that launches the installation of that application. I am wondering how that could be done in the Meego browser (not in Chrome actually, I meant Chromium in fact).

Chrome browser uses xdg-open to use external application to open some links.
