Yes.

On Mac, you need to catch the appleEvent message, checking for id of "odoc"
(open doc).   The data then gives the file information.

On Windows, since this always (?) results in launching a new instance of the
app, you need to put code in startup or openstack, according to the needs of
your project, to check the environment variables $1...$n, which will be the
file info.

One day there'll be an entry in the How To explaining this in more detail, I
believe.

Hope this helps.
