How do I create a link in TextEdit on MacOSX that will let me open an external application?

1"External" as in same hard disk or volume? – Global nomad Jan 30 '13 at 11:41

Yes, that's not clear. I just meant another application - i.e. not another copy of TextEdit. Nothing to do with hard disk or volume. – Snowcrash Feb 4 '13 at 12:00

Doing TextField / Edition / Edit Link (Add Link if you've got any text selected)or Command+K, will let you add an Hyperlink.
Typing file:// before the application's file path will give you a bluish clickable text, which, on click, will open the file path. Here's how it should look like:
file:///Applications/NameOfTheApplication.app
It won't open the Application, but will open a new Finder window with the item already selected.
