Sounds like you're asking about HandOff.  It will step in to ask for a
substitute application the first time you try to open a document whose
application is missing (or if the document was created on another
computer).  You can also assign documents to applications based on the
filename extension.  If you want more information, you can write back
to me or call Software Innovations, Inc. at 214/727-2329.

Disclaimer:  I wrote HandOff.
