Using iMedia Framework

iMedia Framework by Karelia is used in a host of different applications to access media. Some versions (like that seen in HoudahGeo or Fotogafico) can access Aperture and iPhoto libraries, and Lightroom catalogs. Other versions (like in Comic Life or Rapidweaver) apparently use a different version that only accesses Aperture/iPhoto and NOT Lightroom.

I don't know much about the use of frameworks, but is there any way to adapt, replace or otherwise change the iMedia Framework used by the applications that do NOT access Lightroom so that they can?

There was once a standalone iMedia Browser you could use with any application, but it is no longer available.
