Hello,
The concept is exactly the same. You want to perform a task based on information from the combobox.
In the following example, there is a combobox. Items are added to the combobox at runtime (code is found on the On Show event of the page). This way the pathing is dynamic (The _SourceFolder variable is used).
The rest of the code can be found on the button's On Click event.
Hopefully this gets you started.
Regards.

If you just want to open a file with the default app for the file's extension (ex: .doc) then use a File.Open action.
If you want to run a specific application such as Word or Arcrobat Reader, then you use a File.Run action.
To do either more professionally, you should do a dependencies check before offering the choice.
