10.4: A Finder plug-in to access file metadata
Authored by: adrianm on Jun 27, '05 02:19:56PM
Hasn't this been run a few times before? Mine is:

on run {input, parameters}
  tell application "Finder"
    repeat with this_item in input
      set ppath to POSIX path of this_item
      do shell script "mdls " & quoted form of ppath & " | open -f"
    end repeat
  end tell
end run
A bit verbose, but does give you chance to copy the resulting data.
