There's already a similar mechanism in the URL handlers, but Apple don't let you choose which application to use if multiple ones are registered. This still bugs me.

I'd also like widgets one day.

It also doesn't let you override core applications (in that it picks the first one either way), and last time I checked it if two applications registered the same handler and you removed the first one, the association didn't switch to the second one it just broke.

May have been fixed since.

I just want toggles in the notification bar (DND, airplane, 3G, roaming and location would be sufficient as far as I'm concerned). Instead of the waste of space that Stocks is (yes I know I can remove it from the notification center, and did)

Hence "Apple don't let you choose which application to use" - it all happens at Apple's whim, and currently that excludes replacing system apps.
