Use –[NSWorkspace launchApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error:]
and set the configuration dictionary contents to something meaningful to
the app being launched.

You could probably also rig something up by registering your app to act
as a custom protocol handler, then pass information in via the URI.
This might be more useful if you want third-party apps to be able to
easily open your app with certain options, but is likely a little
messier than just launching with configuration options.

Would you care to explain what your motivation is?  We might also be
able to suggest an alternate approach entirely that would better suit
your needs.
