launch RDP with a URL

Have a client that has a virtual assistant company, as a call comes In that client profile comes up in his system, at some clients he needs to connect to a computer at the client's since he needs to use a locally installed application, I would recommend him to you RDP but since the system he uses only accepts a URL, is my question is there is a way to launch RDP with a URL?
Or you may have any method of connecting to suggest

This is a loaded question, but for individuals that have these requirements, I would usually recommend an application such as ConnectWise Control (aka ScreenConnect) . This application would provide the functionality that you are looking for.

ConnectWise Control : https://www.connectwise.com/screenconnect-now-connectwise-control

Most RDP applications aren't going to allow this by default. You could also use Team Viewer Enterprise, but that is a little more expensive.

connectwise will only give me a url to the portal and from there I would select the client to connect, I would prefer if I can have a url that goes directly to the client PC
The only way I can think of that you can use RDP would be to

VPN Method:
Connect to a VPN and then RDP to said machine

Port Redirection Method (Very unsecure)
Setup a unique port on the firewall and redirect all traffic on WAN IP and Port # to Host:3389
VPN will not work since he is connecting to many clients and thy be on the same network
