(I assume you mean "most recently used (documents|directories)")

That's something I think is much better handled by something other than the 
individual application. Something like this would be much better: Have a 
system where it's possible to install add-ons to the system dialog boxes. 
There would be a utility (accessible via an app and via an API) to manage 
these add-ons which would allow the user (or an application) to 
enable/disable/tweak these add-ons on both a universal level and override 
any of the settings on an application-by-application basis.
