In V4 Oberon "par" is exported from which you can extract "arguments" 
from a "command line", i.e. and text in any viewer, so that one can do 
your piping.

In BlackBox/Component Pascal one can write something like this:
"HostDialog.InitPageSetup; StdCmds.OpenToolDialog('Host/Rsrc/Setup', 
'#System:PageSetup')"
where the is a "commander" which when clicked executes the list of 
commands following it.  The
example above opens a dialog window for specifying how you wish to print 
a file.

Many other command sequences are possible.
