Open a .msg file stored in a SharePoint library

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7
I'm creating a PowerApp that has the user save .msg files into a SharePoint document library.
If I go straight to the library and click on the .msg file, it opens and displays nicely in situ. I would like to imitate this behavior from PowerApps, but when I try to Launch the file from PowerApps, it wants to download the file first, then open it in Outlook. Is there some way to get it to behave the first way?

    Hi @zubat
     
    So I know you can open Office Files in the local applications, as there is a specific pre-fix you can add..
     
    I am not aware (although I am looking) for a way to specifically open something else, whether its launch or download
     
    I am going to see if I can even figure it out with just Notepad as I have only done it with office products.
