I was thinking about a cabinet that would have vertically oriented
drawers. They'd stay flush with the top of the cabinet until you
pushed them down and let them pop up (sort of like a stereo cabinet
door). They'd be spring loaded or counterweighted so that they'd
open up about halfway. When you were done you'd push down on them
until they snapped back in place.
Is there any existing hardware like this?

In case you need it, I've uploaded to alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking, a
vertical drawer plan I designed for my own entertainment centre.
For push to release hardware, you might consider stuff similar to what Lee
Valley Tools offers. Here's a few suggestions.

Yes, that's the kind of magnetic latch I was thinking of. That could
be underneath the entire drawer. The other part would be slides for the
drawer that could be counterweighted or spring-loaded. Like a window
uses, for example. Oh! Or like a cash drawer. But more powerful. The
drawer would sit about halfway open.
