I was able to find a setting that if someone clicks a file from the documents section itself, it opens in the client app by default.

However, I have buttons to shortcut to certain files on my SharePoint homepage, and no matter what I try, I cannot get them to open in the client by default.

Is there a way to do this?  Various google searches and searching here didn’t provide any fruitful results.

Thanks
