This tip is very helpful! Some nice applescript on that web page.

By getting the list open apps and then running the following script  
(substituting app names from my list of open apps) I can get currently  
open file names (no paths). I can run the list of current files with  
one of the scripts on that web page you refer to and also get the  
pathways to those files.

tell application "System Events"
	get name of every window of application process "Preview"
end tell

This works great for Recent Items but falls down when trying to get  
some apps & files, such as Microsoft Word docs. They use a different  
system.

Thanks!
