Uruguay is currently using a pre-Rainbow build, so this should work. The alternative, under Rainbow, is to do what Chat does: create a journal entry with a mime-type of text/uri-list, and call show_object_in_journal to switch to the journal view of that object so it can be launched with a click: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=chat-activity;a=blob;f=pippy_app.py#l512 Hopefully Rainbow will grow a mechanism for activities to request it to launch other activities given certain restrictions.
