Dreamweaver links to a file

In Dreamweaver, is it possible to make a hyperlink point to a document and open that document in the original application – WITHOUT having the browser shell.

The reason I am trying to do this is so that the destination document can open up and run vba in the background. The browser window seems to interfere with this process.

I have tried using _top, _parent, _self, _blank but this doesn’t seem to work.

Many thanks for your help in advance
