Run specific application from a Web Application

Question

I'm sure you all have seen those links are able to run for example Yahoo Messenger application on client side if it is installed on client machine. I want to know bit more about how should I register my protocol (I don't even know what should I call that) to open my specified application.

Please apologize As I don't know what should I tag this question, I tag it with very public tags.
