No, the server is very different from the client, even if they are on
the same machine. I know of no way you can have an HTML link open up
software on your machine. If it were possible, that would open up a
whole world of security issues.

What about making the link something like ftp://localhost/somefile and
have an FTP server set up on the same machine. You could set up your
local machine to respond as you wish to the ftp:// link (might be easier
to configure in Konqueror)

Thanks,
