I have a JAR utility (developed by someone else) that I’d like to make it easy for players to launch when needed from within the MOD from a menu entry or button, but I don’t see an option to do something like this.

Is it possible from within the editor?

(After looking more closely at the other threads in this forum, I think I may have placed this question in the wrong place. If so, apologies from the NEWB.)

TIA,

-Jason

No, there’s no way to do this presently. Please file a feature request
