Run command in terminal from IntelliJ External Tools

I want to run a command in the OSX terminal using the IntelliJ Idea External Tools. I don't want the command to run in the IntelliJ terminal.

This is what should happen when I run the tool:

Is this possible?

This should be possible, however, I don't have a mac to test this on. This is how you would do it in Windows. Maybe you can translate to the OSX equivalents.

Program cmd.exe
Parameters /c start "" cmd.exe /k dir
Working directory $FileDir$

cmd.exe is the terminal so substitute the OSX terminal command here.

/c passes commands to cmd.exe then exits

start "" cmd.exe is a Windows command to start an application "" means no title and cmd.exe says we are going to launch the command window again.

/k means do the command and then stay open

dir is the command I am doing (same as ls)

$FileDir$ is the IDEA macro for the the directory of the file you are clicking on. You can change this to other macros to what fits your need.
