I don't know if you mean a directory or a file.

For directory: filebox /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
For file: leafpad /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/<yourfile>

For a launcher shortcut, create a .desktop file (in usr/share/applications/hildon), change the exec path to the above.

I am having troubles creating and/or finding a QBW to acess the settings (control panel). Can someone help me?

Without D-BUS

Code:

run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/controlpanel

Please note the QBW will "stay active" until the setting panel is closed with this method. So is not advised but I know it works.

The standard way of opening applcations is with D-BUS using:-

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"your app here"

However the above possibly will not work so try:-

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.controlpanel /com/nokia/controlpanel com.nokia.controlpanel.LaunchApplication

No luck, I'm modifying an existing QBW by inserting the above info but no luck.
