For windows (proabbly all systems but no idea how) you could install a uri  
Which could run a batfile which could send the user to the gateway... but it requires to be installed on every client and is not realy great or supported.  
I made something to open the fileexplorer (to a shared folder), so you can get some inspiration here:

> ((hm i might have replied on the wrong topic xd)) You can install an uri (on windows) that works for browsers (not the app) You gotta unzip and run it (as admin) on every client pc tho [registerExplorerURIScheme.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/pPlxsSccetxa62JGDTDVaHosx42.zip) (286 Bytes) this one goes like so, i use the link component to open in a new tab: explorer:C:\yourfile.txt
