_If_ you can guarantee where you're running these instances, you could **theoretically**"escape" the browser in a safe way using a deeplink. That is, inside Perspective trigger a navigation event to `customApplication://someArguments` (instead of `http://someUrl`). Then, **if** the local system has a protocol handler registered (this must be done out of band, you **cannot** do this on the page for the reasons Phil called out already), the web browser will **prompt** the user asking if they want to use `customApplication` to open the link: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/9/19a37a1a97dc4fa1859aaa38179051cf2f81adb0.png) Then your custom application can be launched as-close-to-seamlessly-as-is-possible, from Perspective. I'm handwaving **entirely** over the "custom application" piece of this. You'll need to code something that both registers with the OS as a URL handler (or can be registered manually as a handler) _and_ is capable of doing the automation of clicks in your other application(s). This is a non-trivial engineering task requiring some actual software development. But if you _have_ to use Perspective, that's (as far as I know) the best you can do. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/emulating-mouse-clicks-with-perspective/95864)._
