The command line is required because the ".nnn" extension is not associated with MyProgram.exe. This shortcut opens both the program AND the desired file within it.
I'm wondering if it's possible to incorporate a similar command line into a function like the following so that it, too, will open a non-associated file. If so, how?
onclick="##OPEN('{app}\subfolder\MyProgram.exe')"
Thanks.

##OPEN does the Windows Shell Open function
This is really intended to be the equivalent of double clicking on a file in Explorer (so it works on non-executable files too, e.g. ##OPEN() on a .TXT will open it in Notepad).
I don't think it will work with parameters, etc. but you can try it. You can also try ##RUN() which is WinExec/CreateProcess which does allow command line parameters but (AFAIK) must contain path to an EXE program

Thanks for the advice, Sunil. I was indeed able to incorporate command line parameters with ##RUN. This configuration worked:
