How do I launch a dialog to open a program from another program? - bittorrent

When you click on a magnet link in a modern web browser a dialog will open letting you select your torrent client of choice (usually the default) to open the magnet link.
But say I have a program I wrote that displays magnet links within it. What do I have to do to present a similar dialog to open the user's default torrent client after clicking on the magnet link in my program?

Force open a shared SharePoint list link in a browser on a mobile device

I have a SharePoint list that I would like to share with external users, some might not have a Microsoft 365 account. I have created the link so anyone have access to the list. The link works great in a browser on a laptop when I open in a private browser.
I then generate a QR code for this link. When I scan the QR code on an iOS mobile device it force open in the Microsoft Lists app. It then says "Permission Required - You don't have permission to view this list".
I then tried to open the link in a browser on an iOS mobile device and that worked fine.
So the question is. How do I force the link to open in a browser instead of the Microsoft Lists app?
I have tried to append "web=1" to the link but that doesn't change anything.
If you’re using an iPhone, there are a few different ways to open links in your browser of choice instead of in the default app. One way is to long press on the link (this works in most apps), which will bring up a menu with the option to “Open in Safari.” You can also change your default browser settings so that all links automatically open in Safari or another browser.

Blue Prism does not detect elements in Chrome open tool

Using Application Modeller I indentified some HTML elements on a Chrome web page (for clicking on stuff, fill input fields...)
When my bot clicks 'Attach' button, the Chrome will open the Chrome open tool (where you can browse for files). My problem is that I can't identify elements inside that open tool. I used some writers to type in the path field and file name field the path and the file name, but the bot is acting like the Chrome open tool does not exist. Do you have any idea about how can I make the bot complete those fields?
It's common that browsers (for security, among other reasons) will spawn these file browser windows as separate processes. This means that Blue Prism won't see the resulting window as a part of the same browser.
You'll need to either create a new object to attach directly to the window, or detatch and re-attach to the file chooser window once you've opened it. Attaching by the "Window Title" is usually the quickest and easiest way to target these.
Once you've attached to the file chooser window, you should be able to spy the interface elements there. If you're using the detatch and re-attach functionality within your preexisting Business Object, don't forget to detatch and re-attach to your browser instance once you've completed the required actions in the file chooser window.

How is Spotify able to open the desktop app via the Gmail inbox view?

This is the first time I've ever seen a button like this (see right side). Clicking on that button launches Spotify. How is Spotify able to do this for their emails? Can this be done with other applications right now?
Disclaimer: I am a Spotify employee, but I haven't worked on this feature personally.
Google recently added support for markup that lets you embed interactive actions in your messages. You can see the blog post about this or the developer reference. The basic concept is that you embed some structured JSON data in your message, as in this example.
We embed markup in our notification emails that links to the Spotify Open site. For example, here's a link for Passenger — Holes: http://open.spotify.com/track/33lol6G1GUj0d3DyE1QzLw
If you have the Spotify desktop app installed, a redirect on that page to a spotify:track: URI will open the linked track in the desktop.
I would say that it is probably either a feature of Gmail or Spotify has installed some kind of browser plugin that inserts this button onto any page that it wants.
Just like torrents, browsers can associate certain header types with specific programs for example torrents use the magnet:// url which the browser associates with an installed bit torrent client.
So I would assume that this button launches a url like spotify://this-is-a-song-name-987897/ which launches the Spotify program on your computer.
