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!
