Simplest way to create a clickable list in MacOS that will cause selected programs to run

I'm looking for something which runs under macOS that will let me do the following: Suppose I have a file called "program.list" with contents something like this: "Program 1" "/usr/local/bin/program 1" "Program 2" "/usr/local/bin/program 2" "Program 3" "/usr/local/bin/other-program xyz" "Program 4" "/usr/local/bin/something-else" ... etc. ... I'd like to feed this file to a program which, for example, could be called "run-from-list", and which I could invoke as follows: run-from-list program.list ... and when that command is invoked, the following would show up on the screen in a scrollable list: Program 1 Program 2 Program 3 Program 4 ... etc. ... And whatever line I click on, the associated program will run. For example, if I click on "Program 1", it will run the "/usr/local/bin/program 1" program. Is there any way to write "run-from-list" in MacOS without compiling source code into an executable? A scripting language would be suitable. Or is there some sort of existing utility that I could download which I could use similarly for this purpose?
