You have two options: a) Edit the Info.plist of the application you want to open the folder with. This is done by right clicking on the app and selecting 'show package contents' then going into the Contents and opening Info.plist.
What you want to add is this (taken from Finder.app), and put it in the 'Document types' dictionary: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" " http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>Folder</string> <key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key> <array> <string>fold</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Editor</string> <key>LSIsAppleDefaultForType</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> b) When you have the 3rd pane open in Quicksilver, if you start browsing with → or ← you can select any app you want. Takes a little longer than just typing the name, but it works.
