IMHO, and I think it's how it was designed, this kind of more complex feature should be in the overview, maybe as an extension. Definitely not in the Alt+F2 dialog. The overview shouldn't considered be "distracting": it's the main area to run actions from the Shell. And it's already where you can find your recent documents (provided your system apps are built with GTK3).
