You can already do that with a air-launched Harpoon:

I take it the stealth is the selling point?

Well, it should have good IR stealth, since it's a glide weapon. I'm

I think there are a lot more warhead options with JSOW,
plus it's probably cheaper and more reliable since the
guidance package is simpler.
