UIApplicationDelegate: Is there any documented use of `annotation` by other applications?

Question

When a document is opened in an application from another app, the file name passed into application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation: is pretty nonsensical for display purposes. The annotation portion of this message should contain an NSDictionary containing user information, like a friendly file name. Since the structure of this field is pretty loose, is there any site that has attempted to aggregate what different apps use when passing that meta-data to other applications?

I realize that trying to account for all apps would likely be an exercise in futility, but being able to handle a few popular applications would be useful to try and accommodate.

Did you find out how to pass info to the method using the (id)annotation ? I know how to pass info in the URL but how about the annotation? — Nicolas Manzini, Jul 16 '12 at 11:15
@NicolasManzini I have not yet found any documentation on it. — Wayne Hartman, Jul 16 '12 at 14:04

I am aware of this project, but it is for application *schemes*, not the `annotation` of the 'Open In' API. – Wayne Hartman Aug 13 '11 at 03:01
