How can allow my button from app call to open external apps

Question

I'm using this javaScript code:

gotoExternalApp = function () { 
    var options = Environment.appOptions; 
    console.log ("Launching " + options.appName); 
    ExternalApp.launch(options); }; 
    gotoExternalApp(); 
    return false;
});

What Javascript library or framework is this code supposed to be for? `Environment` and `ExternalApp` are not part of a standard browser environment. — , Jan 05 '17 at 17:30
We need some more detail. What are you really trying to do? What are external apps? — Ben Cameron, Jan 05 '17 at 17:33
What I mean is to be able to open other apps for example Google Calendar, Colornote, Dictionary, etc... — Eduardo Ramirez, Jan 05 '17 at 17:33

Do you want to open these from a web browser? I'm not sure this is possible due to the security restrictions of JavaScript. You could use activex as they have in this post... How to run an external program, e.g. notepad, using hyperlink?
