Don't really want to repeat myself, but I'd hate to see this be done in some
weird way, when there are more generic ways, so...
This could be handled with a template mimetype --
x-application-mywordpro-template, or whatever, and an action for that
mimetype that does 'instanciate' instead of the usual open.
Beyond that, such a system would let you 'instanciate' any word document to
create another by using it as a template :)
