This occured to me too, after reading your post :) I use a small hack that uses `file-cache', which works great for me as I most of the time want a file from a static list of files. It never occured to me that I could use this from other apps. I am using the great PowerPro utility under Windows and I am sure I can use that to paste the path to any app I want. Thanks for the idea! I will check your "experimental" code.
