So I found out that when I type steam: in the browser it starts steam. Now I am wondering if I could also apply this function to my own work in progress python app. But after researching I found nothing. How to add it?

    Well steam is a applicatication that allows users to buy and play games. You can start steam like a normal application, but when you have steam installed you can also start steam by typing "steam:" in the search bar of a browser. My goal is to start my own python application by typing something like "mypythonapp:" in the search bar. – Marcii03 Nov 17 '21 at 12:11
  • @Marcii well for those kind of applicaiton, an application is installed in the system and it is run in system background mostly and a browser plugin in added into the browser. where browser plugin monitor the thing you type in search bar or you click right click like that, and if it recognize something similiar then it send a msg to the system application and tell it to perform some task. – sahasrara62 Nov 17 '21 at 12:35

    You need to register a custom protocol handler in the O/S – ADyson Nov 17 '21 at 12:36
