Since there is a varying degree of acceptance (mostly negative) of the webversions of word, excel and powerpoint, at least in my organisations, it would be nice if it was possible to enable a user specific preference for opening documents in either desktop client or browser. From what I've gathered, today it is only possible to manage this as an on/off setting for all users in a site collection in Sharepoint.
Don't know exactly how to solve this, but one thing that springs to mind, if possible, would be to add a "user preference"-option and when that is set, then it would refer to the individual user's personal onedrive setting to determine if it should open in browser or desktop?

@NiclasDahl There is no way to set this pr user (at least not without any advanced scripting). I have also gotten this question many times and i always recommend the users to right-click on the filename and choose open in the client version. Often they get used to that very fast.

Thanks for your reply, that's my usual go to as well, I was just thinking that it would be a nice feature to have :)

@Chris Webb Yeah, doesn't seem like the feature i am imagining. I interpret this as if you in a desktop client, and there is a link to an item either in the text or perhaps as an attachment in a mail, you get the option to either open it in the desktop client instead of it open in the browser. This is nice of course, since if you are already in a desktop environment you probably want the option to stay there if you wish... :)
