Yes! I've been wanting something like this for quite awhile (like since we  
bought our first NeXT...).

In 3.0 at least you can drop files and folders into open and save panels and  
have them jump to that location. One thing we're planning to do in MetroTools  
is allow you to drag files and folders out of our dock so you could use it like  
a shelf. It would have the added benefit (over the file viewer's shelf) of not  
having the icons disappear after they have been dragged out.
