If it is just standard Mac OS X, then probably it has some standard API for opening files and it is recorded everytime (maybe if the file extension or mime type or something else indicates that the file is normal document). I don't use Windows, but I know it has a similar feature. Various GNOME and KDE applications also have this feature too. But it would depend on the software to do it.
