Question: Hyperlink Request Enhancement

Hyperlinks ars restricted to URL, Mail, Maple, etc. For Windows I would like to see a new type called Double Click.

The location and file name would be entered. Executing this Hyperlink would be just like double clicking the file in Windows. The file could be anything as long as the underlying software is installed on the computer.

The file could be video, mp3, image, etc. This would have no restrictions.

It would help to make Maple even more multimedia.

I have asked for this enhancement over the years. I hope this is the year.

The work around I have used requires the file to be a compiled program. Otherwise I get the source code.

I have Mathematica 8 Home Edition and it has the same restrictions.

Get a copy of Scientific Notebook and see hoe their Hyperlink works or even MS Word.

Otherwise Maple 14 is great!

Thanks
