AFAIK, nope, you can't do that. The "whose"/"where" filtering is not
a general feature of the language; it's special and only shows up in
some places.
Your best bet is probably a loop.
You could always call out to the shell:
set myFileList to text items of myFiles
set text item delimiters to linefeed
set myPNGs to paragraphs of (do shell script "grep '\\.png$' <<<" &
quoted form of (myFileList as text))
But even I think that's silly in this case. :)
