The application you need to launch is oocalc, with your spreadsheet as
an argument to the command. So the command to execute will look
something like

   oocalc /path/to/your/spreadsheet

If you have lots of these, you might be better adding a submenu for them
rather than cluttering up the existing menus. Alternatively use the desk
drawer widget for the task bar.
