Can I answer "no"?
Listing all applications for a given MIME type is useful for the file
associations editor. I see little use for a generic application, other than
allowing the user to choose a non-default application (like KDE's
Open/Save/Cancel dialog being extended with Open With).
However, before we could list the applications for a MIME type, we need to be
able to list applications in the first place, launch them and maybe even
control them. This might be an interesting feature, but it is definitely not
something we should rush now.
