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

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?

In other words, how could one write a simple Tcl script in which one
could simply say:

"display this image file"

and cause the appropriate command to be invoked on either windows or
linux to display the image file

If you have the name of several image displaying programs, you could
write some tcl code that attempted to locate the various programs, and
then, once found, use the tcl exec command to start it up.
