Take a look at: [hyperbole](http://www.gnu.org/software/hyperbole)

And watch that video: [GNU Hyperbole - Introduction to

Try removing the trailing "/" from the link target.

Hmm. Long time since I had to do this kind of thing, but if I recall,
the command line for launching Things3 on a Mac would be `open -a
Things3`. Could you try something like:

    [[shell:open -a Things.app][Things]]
