Link that opens the desktop app to a specified cell/range

[jongar]

I want to create a link that 1) opens excel desktop app and 2) takes you directly to a cell/range in a sheet.

URI method link that opens the desktop app simply add

ms-excel:ofe|u|

befroe https url of the file

ms-excel:ofe|u|https://d.docs.live.net/1abc234def5gh6i/FOLDER/FILENAME.xls

Is there a method to use the URI Scheme to open the excel desktop app to a specific cell or range using browser links?
for example Sheet1!A1:C:5 or Sheet1!A5

Something like this

ms-excel:ofe|u|https://d.docs.live.net/1abc234def5gh6i/FOLDER/FILENAME.xls&Sheet1!A1

Source URI Office Schema
