Run a program

[kalons]

I want to create an extension that copies the current selection (if
any, as HTML) to the clipboard, then runs an external application,
passing some parameters to it -- basically the equivalent of this
Firefox extension: http://www.kinook.com/Download/URFFExtension.xpi

which does

if (window._content.document.getSelection() != "")
this.copySelToClipboard();

for the first part and

this.run(this.getURLocation(), parameters);

for the second.

How to create a Chrome extension that does this?

Thanks.

In order to execute an external application, you would have to use NPAPI (which is some sort of a C++ DLL wrapper for native code). Google it.
