MATLAB: How to write a function that generates a hyperlink that runs a function

Question

I'm looking for a way to run a random function with input arguments by clicking a hyperlink in the command window.

In my case, I wrote some functions (Riemann method, Trapezoidal Rule, etc.) to approximate the value of definite integrals. They all have f, a, b and n as input arguments, where f is a function implemented with the syms operator (e.g. f(x)=x^2), a and b are the bounders and n is the amount of intervals. I would now like to 'collect' all these functions in one new function, named integral with the same input arguments, that displays a hyperlink in the command window for each 'integrate function'. So, when one clicks such a hyperlink, the corresponding function is runned. I tried:

function [  ] = integral( f,a,b,n )
disp('<matlab:riemann(f,a,b,n) Riemann>')
disp('<matlab:trapezoid(f,a,b,n) Trapezoid>')
...
end

This doesn't work however, because the f, a, b and n in the display apparently aren't defined.

Is there a way to achieve my goal? Alternatives like pop-up windows and buttons instead of hyperlinks are welcome aswell.

Thanks in advance!

fprintf('<matlab:plus(%d,%d) Sum>\n', a, b)

Note change from sum() to plus() -- unless, that is, you want "b" to be the dimension over which to sum the array "a"
