Something like that is definitely an interesting functionality, but I
wouldn't want to see it outside of a local installation, i.e. in
Emacs, simply for security reasons. With such an event, any
application can practically attain all rights that the Emacs process
has and execute pretty much anything.
Some support for common functions would be nice, though.
For example, I stumbled over "Open Document"'s inability to find new
files, i.e. only existing files can be opened.
Because the system's "open" command cannot pass arbitrary parameters
either, I don't see a way to get (a running) Emacs to find a file (as
opposed to opening an existing one) from external.
