There's no examples of this sort of thing at the moment. For this sort of thing you'd basically need to include an "installer" that the user would then run.

In general we discourage this sort of interaction as it's a security risk and makes the user process non-homogeneous and requires things like internet connectivity at different times. The installers should validate hashes and signatures of things pulled from 3rd parties.

And for good measure the node should be able to detect that the installer has not bee run and suggest running it while failiing gracefully. Examples of this are things like flash plugin installers.
