[thelist] MIME type in href?

Creating links from a MSSQL db where the filename extensions are all
converted to document version number (so 123.1 might be Excel, Word,
text, whatever) The db has info on the file type, so I can browse to the
archive and do an 'open with' the correct app, and all is well.

Is there a way to force a MIME type in a link? That is, to create a link
to

    \\server\path\123.1

and have it open with the correct application?
