[Feature Request] Serverside Application Control

[Unknown]

It would be cool to be able create application control links in HFS. User clicks this link is his browser and then HFS runs app/script/cmd/whatever on the machine it's installed at.

It's hard to understand what you're looking for, but if you call "application control links" to: "mailto://", "magnet:?xt=", etc., I don't see how this is related to HFS. Those links are used to call external applications (installed on your system, not on a server), and are called: "Custom URI" or "Protocol Handlers".

Registering a custom protocol handler, is more related to your browser or system (it's more a "client" thing), than to HFS (that's a "server"). Even if you add this feature to HFS, none of your visitors will have any benefit.

Why do you want that feature?...
What do you have in mind?...

It is precisely to avoid this kind of risk that links to applications that run on the server are not allowed

it IS possible.
It's not a feature HFS offers, anyway.
