Thank you sir. But just want to confirm again. I don't need to open Alfresco document from MS Office (Click File > Open > browser Alfresco directory).

In Alfresco apps, when we hover on a document, this menu appear:

Clicking on it will open our MS Words and allow update. But inspect the menu won't give me the URL.

In the same screenshot I gave, inspecting the "Edit in ONLYOFFICE" give me URL. So the same URL pattern I can call from my web apps.

Now I need URL pattern to "Edit in Microsoft Office". I have the desired document nodeRef. I don't need to browse Alfresco directory.

That is because the link is generated by a javascript function, that you can find here

share/actions.js at develop · Alfresco/share · GitHub

The action configuration is available at share/share-documentlibrary-config.xml at develop · Alfresco/share · GitHub

I imagine what you are facing with is exactly what the following addon seems to solve

Yes, I believe so. After looking at it, it seems quite complicated for me with those jargon "his project requires both a Repository and Share AMP file to be installed to work".

But you link help me to understand my problem better. I'll try to move all my document to "site".

Thank you Douglas C. R. Paes‌, finally my problem solve. I create a site for uploading document. Now the "Edit in Microsoft Office" menu has URL. I simply need to append the URL with "ms-wordfe|u|"
