Any URI (uniform resource identifier) Manager available?

Hi,
im trying to combine desktop apps (portable apps) and self-hosted webapps (using uniserver portable webserver), and found this URI scheme or URI protocols or URL protocols to be the answer to the problem.

i dont understand the technical aspect of it but from the application point of view, this URI can launch external apps directly, sort of a launcher.
example is like this

you need to add the URI in the registry to make it work, so im looking for a URI Manager to handle these to prevent user error.
does anyone know any portable app that do this?
Thank you!
