No, it's not. It's about adding a gnome-vfs hook to do this for all
programs that should be run.
All programs that use gnome-vfs will end up with this functionality. And
that includes Evolution.

And once the correct hooks are in place, I'm sure evolution will be able
to be scripted [1]

from Ximian on any plans for possible future features of Evolution. It
is my personal guess on what might happen eventually given Bonobo and
CORBA and wonderful stuff like that. :)
