Any AppleEvent can send a reply containing structured data. Although you're 
right that LaunchServices isn't set up to relay the reply back to you, so you 
probably need to use the AE API to do the sending.

No, they're lossless. (While distributed notifications can fall on the floor if 
the target process's Mach message queue overflows.)
