It's an OS X Service and apps can hook into it if they want. I suspect 
LiveCode doesn't do it because of its cross-platform nature. None of the 
other operating systems have it and branching the engine code to support 
a single OS is probably a lot of work. It wouldn't make our jobs any 
easier either, since only apps built for Macs would work with it.
