I don't know, maybe sth. like file://, but System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:/Users/..."); should work

I'm not one hundred percent sure...

I assume that it might work, considering that website URLs have the http:// prefix which is what defines them as local URLs, so I reckon that something like

 Application.OpenURL(C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe);

should open up Unity!!!!

Either way, have a play around and see what you can find!!!

Hope this helps!
