Although you could probably rig up your own URI scheme to do it... then you have to package it and install everywhere you want to use it.

@eschwartz - yes I have to post the urls to the relevant calibre-server pages somewhere - but I already have the places to do that - the EN notes whose evernote:///blah blah links I have in all my Author Links fields etc.

I didn't actually say I wanted to open the link in one browser from another browser - what I said was "anyone know a way I can get Windows to open a url in a nominated browser rather than the default browser.

darryl answered the question correctly... "a desktop shortcut with an appropriate command should do the trick."

Then I posted a link to detailed instructions on how to build the shortcut file, with the observation that the application I want to host the link, can also host file attachments - such as a .lnk file. That application is the Evernote Windows client.

So I drop the .lnk file into the appropriate EN note, then at some time in the future I can click the .lnk file in the note, EN will pass it off to Windows, which will pass it off to Chrome, which will pop the relevant calibre server page, thus leaving my workhorse browser, Firefox, alone.

So that part of my question is complete, to proof of concept stage. However this part is outstanding

...what I'd like is a combination of the category select by Author, Publisher, etc but with a presentation style more like Mobile.

Any ideas?

But that's not critical because its about form rather than function, in my narrow little world the latter always trumps the former
