Shared link in Outlook opens in browser, not in desktop application

Hi IvanST,

If the link handling is enabled, you can try this options for resolving this issue:

1. Check if the default application settings on the Mac are properly configured. Ensure that the desktop application (for example Word) is set as the default application for opening the file types associated with the shared links (e.g., .docx).

2. Make sure the browser settings are not conflicting with the desired behavior of opening shared links in the desktop application. (some browsers have settings that can automatically handle specific file types, such as opening Office documents in the browser)

3. Ensure that both the Mac operating system, Microsoft Office suite, and the browser (if applicable) are up to date with the latest software updates.
