Hello, LyXers

Two questions about hyperlinking executables.

1.
I was hoping to create an annotated family media archive
using LyX. A searchable and navigable text in PDF would
serve as a guide to the archive. Hyperlinks would point to
the media of interest and allow to play it on click.
Imbedding this amount of media in PDF was not an option.

      As an annoying problem, Adobe Reader XI does not play
videos until after user's response to a "Launch file" warning
(see an attached sample).

      Recent fixes in the Adobe security notwithstanding,
the Adobe Help seems to imply that it should be possible to
suppress the warning. But no tried combination of Reader's
preferences (Multimedia(legacy) | Multimedia Trust (legacy) |
Security | Security (Enhanced) | Trust Manager ) would allow
to circumvent the warning.

      Are there additional PDF options which one could specify
in LyX so as to suppress the warning?

Platform: LyX 2.0.5/MiKTeX 2.9/Win 7

2.
Similarly, but more generally, could one hyperlink an aribitrary
local executable (say, of my own making) and pass parameters to it?

Adobe help seems to imply that, beyond the 3 choices offered
by LyX (Web | eMail | File ), there also exist so called
"Custom Links".  

Could the custom hyperlinks be defined through LyX? If so,
could they be used (how?) for the above purpose of invoking
ANY executable/script?

Thank you for your time
