PERSONALLY, I would want to go the "other" way.  I would like to be able to
embed other applications INTO Empath.  For instance, say I was to make Vim and
OpenPart.  If Empath allowed for OpenPart editors, I could edit my documents
using my favorite editor right in Empath itself!

Say, also, that I get a PDF attachment in my mail.  Instead of launching an
external app, I would like to be able to view it right inside of my mail
client.  An OpenPart encapsulating KGhostview would do just that.
