I'm providing a link in of my chatbot texts which contains an url to an web app that only works properly when using IE.

This happens on a chatbot which is used only on Google Chrome. So when I link my user to the external website it opens up a new tab on Chrome and I need it to force opening on IE.

...a href="microsoft-edge:https://www.mywebsite.com/">Register

only works with Edge.

I need it to open with IE even if I'm setting the tag on Chrome.

I think there's not such a way to force the link opening in IE using only html. From this thread, we could see that Microsoft Edge has a "URL Protocol" so we can open the link in Edge using href="microsoft-edge:https://www.mywebsite.com/". If you want to force it opening in IE, you'll need to add a protocol handler to the registry.

If you're the developer of the website which only works properly in IE, I think the easiest way is to alert a warning reminding the user to use IE when opening the website.
