When a WOW link is clicked the original file is opened in its normal application, so you are free to make and save changes, not just view information. Click on a WOW link to a FileMaker database, and Wide Open Web launches FileMaker and opens the database for you. Click on a WOW link to a folder, and the folder is opened in the Finder. It will even handle mounting volumes. Using Wide Open Web, intranet HTML authors can create pages that provide direct access to files of any sort, bridging the gap between web and non-web documents.
Companies can create pages to organize all elements of a project in one informative location.
Wide Open Web works with all of your Macintosh programs and files. If you can open it from the Finder, you can make a link to it in your internal web pages. And if you add more applications to your arsenal it will work with them as well, no questions asked. Normal web browsing lets you view pages, but not change or update them. Wide Open Web opens the original document, not a duplicate.
