I don't have citations, but I've seen a couple approaches to this problem: - "One possible application of (this work) would be to..." -- by casting it speculatively like that, using "would be", you're saying "this is an idea, not something we've demonstrated". - "A possible application of (this work) not found in our review of the literature is..." -- here you're offering the idea and saying you did some legwork and didn't find anybody who pursued it. Unless you're writing this in the abstract, you probably don't need to say explicitly that you're not following up on the idea in this paper -- readers can see that easily enough. If you _are_ using this in the abstract (or early in a longer work), you can signal that you're not going to talk about it here by using the word "future": "An area for future work would be to apply (this work) to (this new idea)". "Future work" is code for "not addressed in the present work".
