Has anyone integrated an "Open in Google Docs" in their web app yet? Gmail has this for opening attachments. How about any other sightings of this in a non-google web app?

You can integrate Google Workspace with a variety of 3rd-party or custom applications, to enhance existing Google Workspace services or use new features with Google Workspace. Here are your options for setting up secure access from other apps and services.
The Google Docs API lets you create and modify documents. Apps can integrate with the Docs API to create polished documents from both user and system-provided data. The API allows you to: Automate processes.
All use of the Google Docs API is available at no additional cost. Exceeding the quota request limits doesn't incur extra charges and your account is not billed.
Google Docs does have an API which allows you to search, upload, delete and retrieve documents from the Google Docs list of a specific user. You could conceivably use this to upload a document from your server and then retrieve the URL of that document (once it is imported), which you can then use to redirect the user. It wouldn't be quite as slick as Gmail's integration since you wouldn't be able to show that fancy "Importing your document..." page, but it might suffice.
As for other sightings, I am not aware of any.

If you only need this functionality for yourself you could download the "Send to google docs" firefox extension. That will add a right-click menu on all document links on the web and allow you to open them in google docs.
