It doesn't at the moment, but it would be trivial to add.  Why not try
to add it yourself?  The source file you're interested in is
src/action.c, there's a table at the bottom of actions defined in that
file.  Add one for "System()" or "Shell()", copy one of the smaller
existing actions, and edit as needed.

ActionMessage() is probably a good function to copy from.
