Description
It would be useful to execute arbitrary external processes within the plugin. However, safety might be a concern.
Previously, PR #7465 aimed to add this functionality, but it only added the feature to Logseq itself. The plugin method was not included.
If this functionality is acceptable, I would be happy to submit a PR.

Research direction
Start by reviewing PR #7465, which added related functionality to Logseq but not to the plugin method. Before implementation, clarify whether arbitrary external processes are acceptable and what safety constraints the plugin API requires. Done would mean an agreed plugin-facing capability with its security behavior defined.
