You can also try a panel app I like to use, which is specifically made
for that purpose, called 'Topshelf.' Just search for it in synaptic, or
run "sudo apt-get install topshelf" in a terminal, then add it to your
panel.

 It lets you drag-and-drop frequently used objects in there for quick
retrieval (both files, and directories). File opening is handled the
same way it would be if you double-clicked the file in a directory
someplace, so no need to make custom 'launchers' for the documents...
just drop it in there, then it's just 2 clicks away.
