I have started writing a plugin primarily aimed at an offline Tiddlywiki 
running under HTA. The source is here: https://github.com/welford/twexe

The basic widget syntax is:
<$twexe file="c:/some_batch_or_exe.bat" comment="a basic explanation of the 
functionality">Click Me</$twexe>

This will create a button named "Click Me" that when clicked runs the 
executable specified by file, and when hovered over displays the comment 
parameter. 

You can also specify a twexe indirectly via a tiddler:
<$twexe tiddler="tiddler_name"/>

in this case the file parameter is the tiddler's "twexe_target" field, the 
comment comes from the tiddler text and the button name from the tiddler's 
name.

When you right click on the button you are given the options to: 

1. open the file in it's folder using windows explorer
2. copy the file parameter to the clipboard
3. open the defining tiddler in TW (if applicable)

I maybe plan to add file extension specific actions in the future, and I 
have written some very rough notes on the experience of creating a widget 
here: http://welford.github.io/ These will get updated and cleaned up as 
continue development, the contain some info i couldn't easily find 
elsewhere.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
