shrug-l: Launch an MXD from a web link

Here is an interesting wrinkle:  
If you just try to use the UNC path to the MXD file as a hyperlink in
an html page, clicking the link does actually spawn an ArcMap.exe
process (as seen in Windows Task Manager), but doesn't appear to do
anything else useful.

Here is a puzzle for a Friday afternoon...

I have an MXD on a network drive my coworkers share.  Is it possible
to
put a hyperlink in an intranet  web page that will allow said
coworkers
to launch the MXD on their desktop, assuming they have ArcMap
installed?


Thanks and have a good weekend.
