I see what you mean. For some reason I thought you somehow meant you wanted to spawn another app icon or something.

As the other poster mentioned, messing with the plist is the easiest way to do this. If you just generate a uuid, set the URL of the new item, and set the tile type you should be fine. Then restart the Dock.

As the other poster said, the docks plist format is not guaranteed to stay the same, so writing the least information possible is the best way to reduce the possibility of breakage.

I am inclined to tell my client "No", in fact that is my current answer.
If you just install iWork, you will know how it, well, works.

Could you be a little more specific? I've never seen either application do this.

iWork does it, and so does Microsoft.

Basically, you don't. The dock is the user's domain. If you could programatically add icons to the dock, everyone would do it, and your average user's dock would be a huge mess.
