Perhaps this is a subject for UDS regarding redundance then of dash, gnome-activity-journal (which displays the path of a file beside systray function) and activity-log-manager (which is available with Precise).
When the dash gets a function to display the path of a file it races some thoughts,
- allow to configure which files are displayed (white-black list)
- alternatively respect the configuration of activity log manager(s).

In case it also displays further properties, e.g. file size, date of change, creation, allowing more and more functions a user should be in the position to simply (excludes playing with system files and cli) configure preferences in order to be in control of privacy and system settings.
