You could open a listening socket to listen for "open file" commands.
If opening that socket fails (address already in use), connect a
client socket to it, send the appropriate "open file" command, and
exit.
That way, you even have a cross-platform solution.

capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
