Chrome: Open links to OpenOffice documents on WebD

Question

is there any way to open OpenOffice with the URL when I click on the link in Chrome browser?

To be a bit more precise: I have a WebDAV folder that contains documents.

  https://myserver/documents/doc1.odt
  https://myserver/documents/doc1.odt

I can open (and modify and store) these documents via open the file using the open dialog in openoffice with these URLs.

But what I really want is to embed these links into my webpage and when I click onto this links I want the document behind it to be opened in OpenOffice.

I'm looking for these feature within Chrome browser.

Did some research and finally used firebreath (http://www.firebreath.org/) to create a native NPAPI plugin and to use it in my own extension.

I'm open for suggestions and discussion about this at https://github.com/magomi/OOCaller

There's an extension for Chrome (SimpleGet) that has a plugin for Windows and Linux that can execute an app with command line parameters.....
