Can we open the hyperlink in Internet Explorer instead of opening in the same browser (chrome in my case) by HTML, Javascript?

If the user has handlers set up for custom protocols, it could happen. For example mailto: is the most famous example. Spotify has a custom protocol handler to launch Spotify from the browser. Dropbox app also installs some hack on your browser. I'm sure you could use a href like ie:Google.com and it'll open in ie if the user set up the appropriate handler.

It's impossible because no one browser can't open something from your computer, it's forbidden.
