"Chain" to a different image?

Is there a way from inside Squeak to "chain" to a different image? (I.e. to
load an image whose name is determined by a method of a class in the
current image?)

I'm guessing this has to be handled at the operating system outside of
Squeak ...

-Thanks, Jim

Yes, the Squeak VM currently does not have a mechanism to do this.
But using OSProcess it's absolutely simple, just like calling any other external command.

It may not be what you want, but another thing you can do is save the
current image as another name and continue executing.
