I mean: make a script with an idle handler such as:

on idle
dosomethingcool()
return 3
end idle

then you save it as an application in Script Editor and, ta-da, you have an applet with an idle handler.

How do I find out which applets have "idle" handlers?

One way is to launch an applet with an "idle" handler. The quantity returned by "idle" is the number of seconds until next call. Or is it ticks (1/60 s), I don't know actually.
