Feature Request: Control / Launch apps on other Amazon devices

Saw a blog post where someone used a multi-step hack to allow their Amazon Echo to launch apps on their Fire TV. Blog post: http://www.aftvnews.com/controlling-the-amazon-fire-tv-with-the-amazon-echo/ video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEK1u7CcJwI I think this would be a well received feature if Amazon implemented it. They already have support for Autocasting - http://echo.amazon.com/#help/node/201640670 (link opens to the Echo webpage/app). What do you guys think, do you think people would use this feature if it were implemented?
