Create new word document based on template from browser/javascript

I'm looking for a way to create/open a new word document based on a selected template (dotx) using a browser/javascript.

Basically what I want to achive is the same functionality thats in sharepoint where you can from a menu create a new document based of a template.

Create document based on template from within sharepoint

Any ideas of where to start? I have been googling for a solution but all I could find was how to do this if your javascript is running in the same context as sharepoint. However, I would like to do this outside of the context of sharepoint, but its fine if I need to add a few libraries to my site to be able to support this kind of functionality.

Turns out that office has support for some uris that can be used for this case.. for instance: ms-word:nft|u|{address to dotx-file} would create a link that opens up a new word document based on the target template. More regarding the uris can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/office-uri-schemes
