The program listings feature uses a LaTeX package (listings by default, 
minted if you so choose) to handle the syntax highlighting. If you are 
using listings, the manual gives information on how to add your own 
language style (and where to store it). If you switch to minted (which 
requires the Python package Pygments and maybe some other software), I 
think you can also create your own definition ... but Pygments 
 supports both Julia and Modelica (among some 300 
languages).


I have no idea if it's possible to link to an external document inside a 
program listing inset. I suspect not.
