We're using an ERP application (SAP R/3) with a client that is deployed via Citrix. For some use cases, I'd like to execute a local program on the client (for example to acquire some still images from a locally connected USB webcam) and then process the files. I can do this as long as the SAP GUI is run on the system that the camera is connected to, but naturally this won't work inside the citrix session. I can transfer the resulting files back to the server using a network share, but I'd still need a way to tell the Citrix client on the PC to start a local application. Is this possible?
Launch local application from Citrix session

Not sure if it will fit your use-case but you can redirect local client USB devices in Citrix. Basically make the webcam accessible from the server.
