Could you build this?
Partial A unified viewer and launcher for documents, media, and archives is buildable by stitching together existing libraries, but making many file formats work reliably and safely across platforms is a large engineering effort.
What it would actually take: Assemble a desktop app that uses existing decoders (FFmpeg for media, libarchive for archives, PDF and office renderers) behind a plugin-style UI. The hard parts are format coverage and quality, sandboxing program execution for security, and per-OS integration, which need systems-level engineers with codec and security experience.
