Yes, I believe it can.  The often, in my view, under-estimated command
substitution can be used here I th9ink.

For example, if I type without the quotes of course:
"echo -e `which ispell`"
I get:
/usr/bin/ispell.

Therefore you could simply use 2 command substitutions to obtain the paths
for the commands on your system, as the command switches could still be
used outside the substitution, a simple example is shown below, again omit
the quotes:

"`which pico` -z test.txt"

Cheers.
