Hey, there is already a GUI for it!

Select an URL in a Cocoa program. Go to the Services menu. Disk Copy. Mount Image. DC will launch and the disk image will be mounted remotely! That explains what that strange Service item was used for!

Services vs. app
Authored by: robg on Jul 16, '02 10:04:55AM

Since Services are only available in Cocoa apps, I think a general app that did this would still be quite useful. Drag-and-drop a URL onto the program, and that's basically it. Maybe when it's running there's a small "well" onscreen where you can drag stuff, in addition to the usual drag to dock.

Maybe a list of recently visited .dmg files, too, to make going back easier.

Thoughts off the top of my head...
