Hi Sudhesh,

There is no good way to do this. Metro style apps cannot directly launch other applications.

No.  Metro style apps can launch documents (foo.txt) or protocols (http://microsoft.com, mailto:[e-mail]), but they cannot launch applications or scripts. If lync supports any such protocols then you might be able to use them: check the lync documentation or forums.
