Example:
Imagine I have a command line utility that can generate a text file with a list of all my Steam games.  It puts this list in steamgames.txt.

The format of this theoretical file is:
Name,Path
Borderlands,C:\Steam\Whatever\Borderlands.exe
Budget Cuts,C:\Steam\Wherever\BudgetCuts.exe

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could create a command like this:

    When I say "start game {steamgames.txt:Name}"
    Actions:
        Run a program "{steamgames.txt:Path}"


Additionally, we could have a setting in the profile to have it run the .exe, .bat, .whatever to create the list in the first place (which would obviously have to be run when the profile loaded).
