I don't know if you got around to thinking about it yet (you've got so much else going on!), but the command I wrote to run external files is in LeoPyRef and it's called *execute-external-file*. It has some trickiness because it has to run on Linux as well as Windows, and the terminal commands to launch programs differ among the distros. The code has to try some empirical hacks to figure it all out. But it ought to port to TS pretty easily, I would think.
