Perhaps it could add a checkbox to the > SFGet dialog to show Applications only. There's a way to get this today: Use the DiskTop DA from CE Software. DiskTop is a Finder-replacement DA with a StandardFile-like interface. Just hit Command-Option-D (or your choice of command key) and DiskTop pops up. You can use all the StandardFile shortcuts (type a letter to go to the first item beginning with that letter, use arrow keys, etc.) to open documents or applications. DiskTop is only about $50 (maybe even less); it's even better when used with hierDA/DAmenuz. I recommend the combination highly!
