If you search mailing list history you will see people attempting to add one thing or the other so Wine can directly talk to desktop environment. All of those attempts were shut down. If you want something like this - you'll have to create your own project and convince your distro to include it as a "mod" for Wine. Wine does not include any desktop environment specific "features". It have to be standard and work across most/all desktop environments. Optionally you can get Free desktop to cook up a standard for such a things. Then you have a chance for it to be considered for Wine inclusion. And as far as implementing this, I'm sure distros will be highly against it. You talking about having a running copy of Wine every time use wants to browse something. This will dramatically increase start times and memory usage.
