Is there any way to call another app's service programmatically from
my app? For instance, open a URL in Safari with a url string from my

If the app exports a service, you can call it explicitly with:
NSPerformService(NSString *itemName, NSPasteboard *pboard);
But Safari doesn't export an "open URL" service, as far as I know.
However, if the user's default browser is Safari, you can just use
NSWorkspace's openURL method, like this:
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace]
openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"
http://www.site.com/";]];
I'd say it's probably better to always use the user's default browser,
rather than to hard-code the use of a certain one (particularly one
that doesn't yet ship with the OS). :)
Best,
