I was thinking if Android applications or harbour applications can launch other application like Android/harbour application launching native applications OR other android or harbour applications? because this could be security risk if user permissions are not taken for the same or user permissions of launched application are used by applications launching these apps.

Yes, currently harbour applications can launch other apps, see for example quick launcher.

As for the security risk, I think something is being thought of, I'd imagine it is something like asking the user if some app is allowed to launch other processes (apps).
