calling cli apps

[Spencer Parkin]

Alejandro,

You ask a good question.  As a fellow snap user, I'd like to know the
answer too.  I've asked about invoking other processes from snap-installed
apps before and invoking the user's default browser too, but so far, the
answer I've received from the snap team has been: "we don't have a solution
yet."  I believe it's a hard problem to solve due to the security
constraints of snaps.

My Chinese Checkers snap, for example, wants to invoke other instances of
itself, but currently can't.  It also wants to launch help documentation in
a browser at a given URL, but can't.
