The invention relates to a method for operating a field device (F1, F2, F3, ..., Fn) used in an automation technology system (A), said field device having a communication link to a field access unit (FE), in particular a processor unit, a gateway, or an edge device, by means of a first wired or wireless communication network (KN1), in particular by means of an automation technology fieldbus, the method comprising: - retrieving a link (URL1, URL2, URL3, ... URLn) of the field device (F1, F2, F3, ..., Fn) on a client computer (CR), the link (URL1, URL2, URL3, ... URLn) consisting at least of a protocol field and a parameter field, the retrieving of the link (URL1, URL2, URL3, ... URLn) triggering the following steps: a) launching a first framework application (FR1) associated with the protocol field of the link (URL1, URL2, URL 3, ... URLn), in particular an FDT framework application, an FDI host, a DD host, or an EDD host; b) transferring the link (URL1, URL2, URL3, ... URLn) to the first framework application
