Unity should provide an API for summoning the Dash

Bug description:
The Unity Dash is slated to replace file browsers as the primary way
users find and access data. Currently, it is possible for third-party
applications to request a file browser open, looking for a certain
extension of file. It should also be possible for third-party
applications to request the Dash open, looking at a certain scope,
lens, and filters-combination. Ideally, libunity would provide a D-bus
API for such a task.
This was originally an AskUbuntu question, but since sabdfl encouraged
me to file a bug for this problem, I figure I might as well. The
question [ http://askubuntu.com/q/72266/24694 ] provides one example
of how this API might be used.
