Launching app from a bookmarklet

I want to load an app from a bookmark in my browser. (I'm using a Mac)
Currently the bookmark looks like this:

file:///Applications/Automator/Myapplication.app

If I run this in Safari it will open up the folder 'Automator' in the
Finder.
If I run this in Firefox it will show me the contents on
Myapplication.app within the browser.

Any ideas how I could execute the file using Javascript?

You can't. You wouldn't want content JS to be able to run local
applications.
