Abstract

A method and apparatus for invoking system resources directly from within a mark-up language document. Links referencing a pre-defined system command to be invoked may be embedded within the document. The specific system command may be identified in the link by an alias, such as, for example, a numeric code. By clicking on the link, the system will analyze the contents of the link. If the link calls for invoking a system command, the system will extract the alias, determine the appropriate pre-defined system command referred to by the alias, and execute the system command.
