The time-value tradeoff of figuring out how to do this and then 
writing a script to make it happen is not a good one in my opinion. 
As the saying goes, disk space is cheap.

No, you have to define a macro in your .muttrc for this. 

In your .muttrc, it would go something like this: 

macro index X <pipe-entry>~/bin/foo.sh<enter>" 

Where X indicates the key-binding and the foo.sh bit is your script 
name.  Actually, you probably need some additional bits in there to 
delete the message from the current folder, etc. 

Keyboard macros and the links for the functions you can access are 
here:
