This obvious question has two possible answers as I see it:

1. All. Any database you're connected to contains the data Jim suggests 
in its rdb$databases "virtual table" (view?).

2. None. This whole thing is better suited for an API than a system 
table/view.

And possibly a third answer:

3. Some other system wide database. The security database would be an 
option, but it seems a bit odd. So, the suggested aliases.fdb might be 
an option.

But, all things considered, I feel that the feature is too complicated 
and has too many security implications to be worth it. If anything, I 
might suggest that the alias config that's already present could be 
augmented with a flag for each alias specifying if it should be 
available for browsing or not (default = no). Those marked as available 
for browsing could be accessible via an API function for that specific 
purpose.
