Description

Handle MS Office Document links in a better way

This Extension provides several options for handling/opening Microsoft Office Documents. In the default mode you can only open the documents via opening the context menu on a hyperlink on a web page, which points to either a Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Visio file.

You can however use several other options via the Extension menu (click on the icon)

The usable options are the following:
=> activate a link history
Each time a document link is opened a history entry is created.
(The history can be accessed via the extension menu or via the context menu
action)

=> Choose a custom action for a left mouse click on a document link
- Open online
- Open in protected mode (Desktop application)
- Open in edit mode (Desktop application)
- Download file
- ...

=> Choose a custom copy to clipboard action for the option popover, the extension menu and the history/favorites page

=> Create Favorites from your history

=> Access Favorites and your recent history (up to the last 20 entries)

Context Menu Actions on the page
--------------------------------
- Perform file action during click on office link
- Open favorites/history page (click somewhere on the page)

Context Menu Actions on the Extension Icon
-------------------------------------------
- Open favorites/history page

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The extension settings are synced to your google account
- The history/favorites are only stored in the local storage of the browser
- The extension uses the Microsoft Office URI protocols for opening documents. Depending on web server where the file is stored, this may or may not work. The extension was designed primarily for the use in Microsoft SharePoint sites, but may also work elsewhere

Supported Document formats:
--------------------------------------
- Word: *.doc, *.docx, *.docm
- Excel: *.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb, *.csv
- PowerPoint: *.ppt, *.pptx, *.pptm
- Visio: *.vsd, *.vsdx, *.vsdm, *.vssx, *.vssm, *.vstx, *.vstm

This is so great I can finally somewhat force Edge to open Office documents from SharePoint etc, in a desktop app! :-) Finally i can avoid the webapps, much easier,, why does Microsoft "forces" us to use the watered down web apps, they suck in comparisons with the desktop apps.
