All forms are ordinary Writer documents and starting some other program has
nothing to do with Base.
Insert>Hyperlink...
There you can point to some macro, file, web-page, mail-address, whatever
can be reached by some URL.
file:///home/brainflakes/Documents/MyPic.png will launch some picture viewer
with the specified .png file.
You can insert
vnd.sun.star.script:MyLibrary.MyModule.StartFooApp?location=application&language=Basic
together with a label "Start Foo App". The hyperlink will call the specified
Basic macro in the global macro container.
The Basic macro may use the shell functions to launch a specific
application.
This works exactly the same way in Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw.
