Accessing File system from browser is not a good practice and can be implemented according to my knowledge.

But, can we by any means do that, i need to open files that resides on the local directory (using the browser from my web application) .

Can we do that using HTML5, js or any scripting or server side language? Is there any workaround?

Can we call a console application that open that file using the suitable application from the browser?

Generally, The web application does not have the rights to access the local file system for security reason. In my point of view i think, it is not possible.
