Ok. So Google just released their Desktop, and while going through the stuff about it, i found something i'm sure i can do already, but don't know how. Help?

I'm running Adium (newest) and LaunchBar (likewise) and i'd love to be able to find my chat logs through LaunchBar and then, instead of having them pull up TextEdit, have LaunchBar know to open Adium's Log Viewer.

I can take this further, because i'd love for their names to be searchable as both screen names and meta contact names.

Thoughts? I'm sure LaunchBar just doesn't know how to select them, and i could tell it, but i'm not sure how to find the Log Viewer that's built into the newer Adium builds. And can that log viewer import AIM or MSN logs, so i don't have to keep so many copies?

Hmm.

Or, the more i think about this, is it just a default app question (Log Viewer instead of TextEdit) and a matter of training LaunchBar?

Still, i'd love to have it come up under a person's name (which can be pulled from my address book, same as Adium does already) so that when i LaunchBar someone and right arrow i can get their email, screen names, addresses, web sites, phone numbers, and chat logs all in one place...
