Launch native Linux apps?

I have done this with Kmail and others. You have to add a few registry keys in 
HKCL and HKLM. Basically, you can launch any Linux app from wine by it's full 
path and pass command line arguments. There's of course the problem of 
converting Windows paths to Unix paths.

At http://www.winehq.com/site/fun_projects my Kmail registry entries are 
described. For examples how to use Open Office, you have to google.

I don't think that executing a Linux Plugin in a Win32 browser is possible, 
but cossover allows you to do the reverse.
