Steps to reproduce:
Add support for RFC4709: Mounting Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) Servers.
Right now, getting people to mount a webdav folder involves and end user following various complicated instructions to manually mount the server.
What should be possible is for the end user to click on a link, and have the process kicked off as if they clicked on Go -> Connect to Server and entered a webdav endpoint.
This will drastically reduce the administrative burden of configuring webdav drives, in an RFC compliant manner.

Some info from the Chrome work to implement this:
On MacOS, the command to run in response to "application/davmount+xml" is mount_webdav, as follows:
https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/mount_webdav.8.html
On Windows, it looks like the command to use to map the drive is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/new-psdrive?view=powershell-6 - it is apparently also possible to leave off the drive letter to just make the path available.
Appears the Linux command would be based on davfs2 at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2
