Describe the new feature

I am looking at the possibility of executing an external application program from within sqlitebrowser and passing it a set of data that would then be processed by the external program.

Example: I run a query that selects all rows that have a zip code of "12345" from a name and address table, then pass the data to an email generation program for targeted emails. (This may not be the best example.) The external program would then get perhaps the sql to generate its own query or get the data in a csv/json/xml format or a set of parameters, depending on the application's requirements.

Has anyone consider this--maybe through extensions or function key?
