For a long time the FilerHRun module did a Filer_Run parameters. However
still and silent since a while at least under RISC OS the command

StartDesktopTask

is available.

Some other remarks. INKEY used in BASIC started as a Taskwindow immediately
opens the Window Output of the child task. Starting a child Taskwindow from
another regular Wimptask will require usage of the -task &00000000xxxxxxxxx
parameter inside Taskwindow command where xxxxxxxxx is Hex taskhandle of the
parent.
