Open Question: How to query shapes in GE?

I know there are plenty of sophisticated ways to bring your GIS
shapefiles into Google Earth but I am kind a wondering if there is a
way to open attribute tables and do some basic queries within GE.
There is some sort of a solution to it using Mapwindow GIS and GE
opened at the same time, but still, what about a person that is sent a
.kml file and want to take look at a specific value within say
hundreds of records?
