In client/server you can use host. If you are on Windows, look at d2kwutil.pll (win_api_shell.winexec).
If you are running WebForms, your only hope is to launch the browser on an url that has it's extension linked to some other application (web.show_document). We use that to launch Excel on .csv-files.
