To start something like Putty you would need to define a "helper app" on your computer. Telnet is already defined on Windows, but SSH is not.

You may add html code to the DESCR field, and your browser will make it "clickable".
I think you're wanting something like the following:
(hosts.cfg)
192.168.1.24 servername.co.com # DESCR:"Web Server:description <a href=ssh:192.168.1.24>ssh</a>"
The above entry inside hosts.cfg would add a link of ssh:192.168.1.24 to the "info" button associated with that host in Xymon.
I hope this is clear; good luck!
How do you make PuTTY start when you click this link?
