Opening VLC with a browser link and video path

Is it possible to open VLC with a browser link and have it play a video based of a path included in that same url?
I'm trying to create a web page that will list all my videos and then let me click on one to have it automatically start playing. Is something like this possible?

Thank you. With that I was able to make a link that can kick off vlc. My only issue now is that after I click on the link, it creates another webpage with xml code in it. Is there anyway to get rid of this or hide it?

Hi,
you can use Javascript to perform the query without opening a new page.
