What´s an easy way to locate and launch an app in OS X?

OS X Get Info Icon Launch

In OS X, when you do a Get Info on a folder or the hard drive, if you double-click on the icon in the Get Info window, the hard drive/folder opens up a window.

If you do this on an application, the app will launch.

And this is NOT at the expense of being able to copy and paste new icons onto things. You still can.
