in addition to adam's answer, you can use \goto {something} 
[program(somefile)] to get anything launched that the fs supports, like 
excel sheets and so on windows; in the coming version file embedding is 
also an option (include file in doc, and open it as attachment); i have 
this running now also with user defined launch symbols
