HTML? no. Javascript? possible. Most of the web is really designed to not allow this. There are some powerful JS writers, LibreOffice in the web and more.

I do this now from the command line:

$ kwrite filename <E>

But I would like to be able to do it by simply
clicking on an entry in a simple html menu.

These attempts do not work:
<li><a href=file:/home/joe/notes>open notes text file</a>
<li><a href="exec kwrite notes">open notes with kwrite</a>
<li><a href="exec /usr/bin/kwrite notes">open notes with exec</a>
