Not at all, the work for parsing the commands into some searchable/actionable
structure would have to happen regardless of it being passed for use by an
os/DE provided tool.

And while doing all the os/DE integration is a lot of new native code, parsing
into a filter list of commands is probably trivial, while providing a widget to
search/select/apply on a Menu or on a Toolbar, or in the Notebook Bar, or yes
even a Sidebar content panel is in scope of this issue.
