How can IE load an application for a specific file type

I have an application that handles a particular set of extensions. If I want to be able to open that application inside my IE browser what do I have to support ?

From my research it looks like I will have to implement my application as a COM server and register a MIME handler. This way when IE encounters my extension it can use COM to load my application inside the browser and call my interfaces ?

Is this how its supposed to work ? I am thinking thats how pdf or msdocs get loaded inside browser ?
