How can I launch a Office product from Azure web application

I've built a web application hosted in Azure and I need it to launch a Office application on the end users desktop when running a specific part of the process. The application I need to launch is MS Project Professional and I can do that without issue if I am running the site locally but I really need to make this work while the application is published and running in the cloud. I can post a code example if needed but I believe I need to add something to request the end user to allow access (just a guess). Note that the end user will always be an admin on the box they are working on. If anyone has any suggested approaches I would appreciate the insight. Again my application works fully if I am running it locally but I don't want to install it on a clients system I want to run it from the cloud.

Thanks

You'll find Office URL schemas are documented here

To launch Microsoft Project, set the href/link to ms-project:ofv|u|https://path-to-resource for read only or ms-project:ofe|u|https://path-to-resource for write access

I don't have Project, so I can't test these, but they do load for Word and Excel
