An observation (this is NOT any kind of request for action):

Traditionally, computers have had a "console stack" (usually LIFO). 
  Software could "push" a text string to it, then request that it be 
"popped" by the command interpreter, as a means to start a program.

In my XO I can in Terminal type in 'opera URL' (without the quotes, 
and specifying the URL), and the Opera activity will launch.  Seems 
to me whatever mechanism works for launching from Terminal, ought to 
be adaptable to launching from Joshua's activity.
