how to start up a desktop application in client side

by

Basically it’s not possible to achieve unless an application registers a protocol that will trigger it. If it does that all you need to do is to provide a link using this protocol

yourcustomapp://some.parameters

Another way the 3rd party app can integrate with the browser is if it hooks to it as a plugin. This is how flash apps work etc.

If the app you are trying to launch does not support something like that it’s going to be close to impossible to achieve what you want.
