On Mac OS X, you can do it from the command line.

1) create a standalone app (named "Untitled1" in this example) that has this stack script:

   on startup
        dispatch $1 to me
        quit
   end startup

   on incoming
        beep
   end incoming


2) create a different stack with this BUTTON script:

   on mouseUp
        answer file "Pick the app:"
        if it = empty then exit to top

        get shell (it & "/Contents/MacOS/Untitled1 incoming")
        put the result after msg
   end mouseUp


3) click the button. It should start the "Untitled1" app and you should hear the beep. At least it works here.

I haven't tried this on Windows, but I bet something similar would work there.
