open another application's shortcut
It would be nice if the ShortCut Plug-in could open another app's shortcut (or anything that is accessible when you add a shortcut by long pressing on the home screen.). For example, Shopping List Plus allows you to put a shortcut to a particular list on the home screen. If it were possible to open that list, instead of opening the Shopping List Plus app, that would be handy.

Locale 2.5 (which requires Android 3.0 or later) includes the Shortcut setting built-in, and this built-in version of the Shortcut setting can now open apps as well as app shortcuts.
Today this requires Android 3.0 or later. An upcoming version of Locale will bring this feature to older versions of Android as well.

Yes. I want a google docs web page to open when I put my droid into my car dock. I use it to track mileage. I can open the browser with the google docs page set as the home page but the ability to select a page shortcut would be sweet.

Yes! Big request here... I have a set routine where I plug my phone into my car charger every morning. Right now, it automatically enables GPS, and then I have to manually navigate to work to check traffic and find the fastest route. Same goes on the return trip home. If I could launch a Navigation desktop shortcut, that would be awesome! There are a lot of other great shortcuts too like direct dial that would also be great.

I'd like it to open browser bookmarks (which falls under the list of shortcuts from the home screen). m.moodio.fm plays radio stations you define, and I'd like to have this start automatically when I get in my car in the morning.
