Can you launch the telnet window from Javascript?

Question

I currently have a link that launches a telnet link similar to this

<h:outputLink value="telnet://1.2.3.4">
    <h:outputText value="1.2.3.4" />
</h:outputLink>

For all users, browsers are correctly configured to launch some telnet client or another when they click this link.

I want to change the link that is currently displayed on the page to a link in the context menu ( rich:menuItem).

Menu items seem to work poorly with JSF output (or any other types of links). You need to implement it as an event value onclick:

<rich:menuItem value="View Details" onclick="window.location='http://ond.ba.ssa.gov" />

I tried to implement telnet in the same way:

<rich:menuItem value="1.2.3.4" onclick="window.location='telnet://1.2.3.4'" />

But that will not work. Should it? Is there an easy way to do this? If so, I could not find him.

Thanks in advance.
