Get a Mega STe or a TT :-)  The new Desktop in these machines allows GEM
programs to take parameters.  You can either drop a file onto a PRG icon
(to start that program with that file name as its paramenter) or install
the application as "GEM Takes Parameters" and double-click it, at which
time you'll be solicited for parameters just like a TTP.
