This would be possible when `locate' were more similar to `find-dired'.
I don't mean its output should be formatted as files in dired.
For that we could create a new command like `locate-dired'.
But maybe internals of `find-dired' should be generalized to
accept arbitrary commands. This would allow implementing
`locate-dired', `rgrep-dired', `lgrep-dired', i.e. any command
that searches files with their output formatted for dired
like `find-name-dired', `find-grep-dired' and `find-dired'.
