Pass Information to VB Program

I am making a download manager in VB 2010. I need to be able to pass the download link from an HTML page to the VB Application. This is what i think i need to do in the HTML:

<html>
<body>
<a href="downloadmanager.application?url=http://example.com/example.exe">Download</a>
</body>
</html>

Does anyone know how i could do this? Thanks

you can either create a browser plugin to manage the link tracking, or register your own protocol: mydownloadmanager://download?url=http://example.com/example.exe
