Image viewing - a different approach

I'm wondering, could be image viewing possibility solved somewhat different
way:

Not all has to be made from within TCL script. Nowadays every OS has some
simple tools shipped with, like f.e. image viewer application. So perhaps
there's no need to build a image viewer module - just to use external tool?

All I need is a possibility to build something, which could be treated _by
external applications_ as kind of "shortcut to file" (speaking Windows
language), after clicking which there will be associated viewer launched,
and - taking image file name as parameter - such viewer will show it in its
own window.

But is it possible to make such "shortcut"? For example, by "bind"-ing, or
some other way?
