If anyone knows how to do this (execute a system command/script
and do a hypertext jump with just one mouse click), I would
really, *really*, *REALLY* like to know how too.

I don't have any of the documentation about integrating
applications with FrameMaker, but I was thinking that you might
be able to use some RPC message from a shell script to tell the
current FrameMaker session to open a document and do a hypertext
jump.  I haven't a clue if it's possible or how you send such a
message, but there have been some other messages recently about
RPC and such, and perhaps those people might know if any of
this is possible.
