When generating that HTML, you can fetch your URL and use the generated HTML to redirect&amp;nbsp;the users browser to it. Then provide a link to the user that opens in a new tab.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I did something similar to open a document inside a windows application. That application registered a URL schema in Windows. The user clicked the link opening in a new tab. The link points to my web API which generates that new URL and redirects the browser to it. Then, Windows picks up that URL and opens the document inside the application.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
