Windows 8 starts to head along this path with cloud-based file selection from within 'Metro' style apps. For example you can add a picture from Facebook or Flickr to Onenote directly from the file picker in Onenote.
It'd be nice if they did what Collections proposes and extended this by allowing apps to natively integrate with Explorer and not only the Metro file picker.
