Or to the file manager to save it, perhaps.

This would be a lovely feature that could finally do away with
the need for those pesky Open.../Save as... dialogues that are
gradually growing into full-featured file managers in their
own right. (With hilarious consequences.)

However it's pretty contrary to the way most appliations
currently behave, and as you noted, difficult to implement
currently across WMs and apps. Boo.

I've not encountered any Windows apps that have anything as
useful as this; can you name me some?
