Yes I did! Way back in 2013. (Just curious ... Is better to reopen an old question & ask again for any updates?)
Anything new in launching apps from a link now in 2019 with Mojave?

Nope. No change
I'd rather browsers not be able to do what you ask for in this question. It's an avenue for malware. There's enough ways for malware to get in, we don't need them to have an easier way.

Update: I had originally asked the question "How to launch a MAC App from inside a Text Document"
I found a nice solution that's well worth sharing ... See Taskpaper from Hog Bay Software at taskpaper.com (no I am not connected to them)
You must purchase it from this developer site ... the Apple Store version of Taskpaper has that functionality removed.
----------------------
Sidebar: If anyone is interested, I use this app constantly daily for checklists & procedures ... and launch everything from within 1 simple Taskpaper doc. I rarely hunt around my Desktop to click/launch anything any more. For Example:
___ Check my email taskpaper link to open Outlook for Mac app
___ Return phone calls
___ Check bank balance http link to examplebank . com
P.S. I've cross-posted this to my one other similar question as well
Cheers!
