Technically speaking, how would you implement this?

Something as this would be really difficult to implement, and switching apps 
on the fly is not  the most common operation nowadays. Another problem is 
that it probably won't work with non-KDE apps, unless someone creates a 
standard saying how apps should pass control to others.

Besides that, there's a much simpler way of achieving similar behaviour. 
Konqueror already offers "Open With <appname here>" entries in its "Location" 
menu. We can create a class to dinamically generate a "Open With" submenu and 
put that in every app. Anyway I don't find that useful enough to take up 
precious menu space.
