The default action when click on a html file link will open it in browser.

How to config the action of click to distinct web links and disk file link, so the web link starts with http or https will be open in browser and file link to disk will be open in emacs to edit?

  • The question is unclear: a link like [[http://localhost/foo.html]] will be opened in a browser; a link like [[file:/tmp/foo.html]] will be opened in Emacs. What exactly are you asking?

  • @NickD My Emacs (-Q) opens it in edge.exe by default. I use v29.1_2 on MS-Windows.

  • What is it? The https link or the file link, or something else - or maybe both? And what does edge.exe do with it (whatever it is)? I still don't understand what the OP wants and your comment did not clarify anything for me. Is the question Windows-specific?

    @NickD Click at [[file:a.html]] in org-mode will open a.html in edge.exe

  • So it does (well, it opens it in Firefox for me, but I get your point). Thanks and sorry for being dense.

C-h v org-file-apps:

Applications for opening file:path items in a document.

Its definition:

(defcustom org-file-apps
  '((auto-mode . emacs)
    (directory . emacs)
    ("\\.mm\\'" . default)
    ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
    ;; ...             ^^^^^^^

You can customize it to change default to emacs.
