URL for opening a link in a calendar application

Question

This is a html link/href/url when you want to open a link with an email client (like outlook)

<a href="mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello%20again">Send Mail</a>

What should be an html link when you want to open the link with a calendar client (like calendar from microsoft outlook or similar calendar application) in order for them to also save some information regarding appointments/events?

Is there a general approach to these urls to be able to open with them different applications?

Thank you

Answer 1

您可以使用其中的一些不同日历（Google，Outlook等）之间没有通用的链接，但我的建议是使用免费的“链接生成器”，例如http://addtocalendar.com或https： //www.addevent.com为例。

Answer 2

I resolved this by creating below registry entry

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal]
@="URL:Outlook Add Internet Calendar"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\root\\office16\\Outlook.exe\" /select outlook:calendar"

then markup should be like

<button id="outlookCalendarBtn" onclick="window.open('outlookwebcal:')">
   Open Outlook Calendar
</button>
