    Link to Workbook opens in Browser

    I have a workbook at the link shown below:
    https://xpsstx-my.sharepoint.com/per...s/MyLinks.xlsm
    This workbook holds links to my most used workbooks. So I have a link such as below:
    ../Jomili%20Personal/Family/Denise/The%20Denise%20Book.xlsx

    The problem is, when I click my link, the workbook opens in my browser, not the app. I really don't want ANY workbook to open in a browser unless I specifically note one that I DO want opened this way (so far I've yet to find a workbook I prefer to open in a browser).

    So, my question is, how do I STOP workbooks from opening in my browser?

    Finally found an answer that (so far at least) works:
    In any Microsoft 365 for Windows app
    Go to File > Options.
    Select Advanced > Link Handling.
    Click on "Open supported hyperlinks to Office file in Office Desktop apps.
    This enhancement apparently became available starting with build version 2307 (Build 16603.20000).

    Thanks for sharing.

    Don't use HTML tags here - they are not currently working.
