Here's a question about RB's capabilities...

Is it possible to launch an application, such as Word or Powerpoint, 
within a RB window (inside an application), and furthermore have it save 
files to a specified location or have the RB application be aware of 
where the application is saving information?

I.e., if you create a calendar application in RB with a pane on the left 
side showing a monthly calendar, and on the right is a large space that 
is running Word inside, then you can save the document and have it saved 
as an icon in the day of the month you created it.  Then when you reopen 
your calendar application, you can click on the icon for the document in 
the calendar display and your application will open Word inside the 
window on the right (kind of a like a split view window, calendar on the 
left, Word or another office application on the right) and Word would be 
a kind of child process to your application.

Confused yet?

I wondered if this kind of ability is possible under RB or if it entails 
jumping through greater acrobatics than a Cirque du Soleil performer is 
capable of doing.
