I'm not sure how wide-spread the use of `org-mode` is, but if the bundle 
has at least a few users then I'll add it to default set of bundles (if 
you don't mind) :)

The [“Todoist” 
bundle](https://github.com/mailmate/todoist.mmbundle/tree/master/Support/bin) 
has something like this. It uses `defaults` to write/read a setting and 
it uses AppleScript to ask for its value (a string token for the Todoist 
server API). You can also use AppleScript to ask for a filepath (I don't 
think there is an example of a bundle command doing that).
