But I would like to be able to do it by simply
clicking on an entry in a simple html menu.

These attempts do not work:
<li><a href=file:/home/joe/notes>open notes text file</a>

As I said the last time you posted this about a year ago: If you have an HTML file on your local disk opened with Konqueror, and that HTML file has a <a href="path/to/file.txt">link like this</a>, you can right-click on that link and get a KDE menu where one of the choices is "Open with". Kate and kwrite are choices available here. While this is not a single-click solution, it's a heck of a lot easier than almost anything else anyone has mentioned.

Keep in mind, what you're asking to do (I think) is essentially
allowing html and hosted files to transcend the browser to open files
in the os and launch a file with a given application

See above. When the HTML file and the files it's linking to are all on a local filesystem, as is the case here, the rules get relaxed.
