If I wish to open an application that doesn't have an icon in the dock 
I use my trackpad to select Recent Items under the Apple in the menu 
bar and almost always the application I wish to open is listed there. 
If not I then use Command Space to open Spotlight and then type a few 
letters unique to the application name, strike return, and open it that 
way.
