Nothing using Corels file format currently, but quite a while ago I have started a small file indexer that grabs metadata out of some file types. If it could look into CD files (Version 9 mostly) independant of the platform it is running on, that would be nice. Another question is if Corel has made the step from proprietary file formats to using XML inbetween, I would think about updating and file conversion then.
