Send smb:// links to OS

We're posting links to local file server locations quite often. In mixed OS environment, MacOS users will post smb:// links that should be opened on Windows workstations.

It is easily possible to add a SMB protocol handler to the Windows registry and it's working fine when we click smb:// links in Chrome, for example.

But nothing happens when we click the same links in the Windows Ryver client. I guess it isn't forwarding them to the OS?
