This could be similar to Apple's use of the Recent Applications and Recent 
Documents menus that were present in the Apple Menu through OS 9 (I don't 
currently know whether this is implemented in OS X, but it might be worth 
a peek.) 

I don't know how much sense it makes in a blackbox environment (makes 
perfect sense on a Mac desktop, though) where most of your stuff will be 
done through a command line (unless you're a Rox-Filer user or actually 
LIKE running nautilus on your bb desktop :) but if there's ways to hook in 
and gather the information on the fly or to 'loop' out at app launch to 
pass the info to a script, then it should be possible.
