I'd like to prime a browser to take special actions on ethereum addresses or tx, potentially opening user's default local client programs, or linking to sites like etherescan.io, etc.

Is there any HTML treatment standard like that of mailto: or sms: for crypto addresses of any kind?

I am explicitly not looking to create a custom handler, but whether there exists a standard handler. (And that answer may simply be no.)

    A useful reference point is https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-681 -- If that doesn't look right, can you give a different analogy? All the analogies given (mailto, sms) are to *trigger some specific action*: send an email or send an sms. I'm not clear which action you're trying to trigger. Seeing arbitrary metadata about an address, which is a general case of "linking to sites like etherscan", is probably not specific enough to become a standard. – carver Oct 28 '18 at 18:59
