Or at least possible:

Integration: Integration to other applications is a key design point in Coghead and one that takes several forms. One capability that will be surfacing soon is what we call “Linked Applications”. A “Linked Application” is basically a facade on an external application service (e.g. a Salesforce.com application or on an on-premise application with exposed interfaces). Linked applications look very similar to the native applications built in Coghead - they show up on the list of applications, their actions can be invoked inside of other action definitions, forms can be used to view/add/modify data, etc. Other Coghead applications in the same account, then, are able to invoke the external APIs of the remote service associated with the Linked Application using standard Coghead application building blocks. For example, someone could build an “Issue tracking application” in Coghead that automatically attaches a Note to a Lead record in a remote Salesforce.com account whenever certain conditions are met. Linked Applications should surface as a ‘beta feature’* in early July.

I’m very excited to see what they come up with. Coghead looks really cool, but I haven’t carved out time to run it through it’s paces. If they release a way to build web apps that front end Salesforce.com, I’ll definitely make the time to check it out!
