How do I open a Lotus Notes link in Lotus notes when someone clicks a
Link widget from within my RCP?

I'm not exactly familiar with how Lotus Notes links works, but maybe the
Program class from SWT will be of help to you?

if you copy a lotus notes link into a chant window or browser for
example the format is like: notes://....

clicking on it will open up lotus notes the exact document location. I
am trying to enable this functionality in my RCP but not having much
luck. At first I thought maybe I could open a browser with the URL and
then close the browser as soon as Notes is opened. That seems like not
the cleanest way to do it - but the notes link seems like something so
simple I should be able to take advantage of. The main issue with that
approach though is java.net.URL throws an exception because it does not
recognize note:// format. So, I need a better way to do this, or I need
to know what URLStreamHandler I can use for Lotus Notes links.

Maybe you can just try opening up Notes (via
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(String)) with the the notes:// URI appended as
an argument?
