If you have a new answer to an existing question, it should be posted as a new answer on that question rather than as a new "question" that isn't actually asking a question. And FWIW, I'm not describing my opinion, but the structure of Stack Overflow. — smorgan

For Windows 10,
you can open Excel or Lotus Notes document with the following code snippet

  ...
  RaisedButton(
    onPressed: () => setState(() {
      _launched = _makeCall('tel:$_urlStr');
    }),
    child: const Text('Make phone call'),
  ),
  RaisedButton(
    onPressed: () => setState(() {
      _launched = _makeCall('sms:$_urlStr');
    }),
    child: const Text('Make sms call'),
  ),
  RaisedButton(
    onPressed: () => setState(() {
      _launched = _makeCall('notes://$_urlStr');
    }),
    child: const Text('Make notes call'),
  ),
  RaisedButton(
    onPressed: () => setState(() {
      _launched = _makeCall('file:$_urlStr');
    }),
    child: const Text('Make excel call'),
  ),

 ...

 Future<void> _makeCall(String url) async {
    if (await canLaunch(url)) {
      await launch(url);
    } else {
      throw 'Could not launch $url';
    }
}
