Is this possible...

Hmm... you could try using the script to somehow launch an external 
program and then shut down the running program in order to allow the 
external program to replace then relaunch it.

That might be a way to do it, if you can figure out how to launch an 
external program without pausing the script (such that the first 
program can quit and leave the other program running).

On a Mac you can do this with AppleScript; on a Windows box, you would 
need to use the "start" command in a shell() command.
