Run External application outside the browser like BitTorrent

Is it possible for JavaScript to detect whether an application (such as BitTorrent) is installed and if so, can it can be launched by clicking on a link?

This is not Javascript, it works with handlers.

Handlers are in your browser and trigger events when a special protocol is clicked / called.

e.g.: if you open a magnet:// link, it will trigger the handler for magnet. And the handler is connected with the bittorrent application.

So:

first question: No

second question: Yes (with a handler [need to be installed in browser])
