Oh, yes of course.

Aisleriot for instance is using guile as the language to define games;
Once we release the first beta of the desktop, I will personally
concentrate on applications, and I am going to use a scripting
language as well (the bindings exported to the scripting language
*could* be the same as those exported trough corba, but may not,
different apps will have different needs).

Sure, applications would export a "Add-to-menu" method.
