At my old job we rolled out our own drill down query tool that fired whenever somebody right-clicked on the map.
It just passed the coordinates of the click along with the visible layers via AJAX to a server side script that queried our database. In our case our database drove both the application and the wms service and we had easy access (full control) across all of our services. The returned information (json) was then displayed in a table within a framed cloud. It worked for the client and made for some fun experimentation in openlayers.
