When I have a link to a word-document in Dropbox and I click on it, it will start an integrated Word

When I have a link to a word-document in dropbox and I click on it, it will start an integrated wordversion in Dropbox/Chrome. But I like to open it in my desktop office word version. When I look at the help, I should manage that via <settings> / <apps> / <Default editing apps>. But the only choice I have is <display on dropbox.com> or <web version of word>. There is nog option to use my desktop office app. How do I manage that??
