Yes
Use in a WF a Generate a URL Token Activity will generate a token with link to the repository document for the Starting Entry or any other Entry.
You write a Starting Rule for the work to Start the WF when a new Document in a specific folder or make the workflow a Business Process available to a user in the repository to click on a Document and Right Click Start Business Process
Use Invoke Business Process Activity to the Forms server and Form to Start
You use the Form server, User Form and a Form Field to receive the token.
The form will appear in the Forms Inbox!
I created a form called "test new with" single line text field say "ViewDoc"
You pass the token to the form so that the use clicks on the link. Use on the Form
Layout to use a Custom HTML
<a href=%ViewDoc>New Doc for you</a> or
use JavaScript/CSS to create an iframe container. to display ViewDoc token
example
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#q5").click(function(){
$('.frame1').remove();
var test = $("#q10 input").val();
var mypath ="lfmobile://1.46.172.128:8070/laserfiche/index.aspx?db=Willowstone#id='"+test+"';view=pages"
$('#q11').append("<iframe src='"+mypath+"' width=100% height=400px name='frame1' id='frame1'class='frame1'></iframe>");
});
});
I hope this has been helpful

You can also use the custom tabs feature of the web client to embed a starting form in the right pane. If you use the starting form URL, you can pass in document parameters to the starting form automatically like the entry ID and/or document metadata.
