Many cubical based work stations have a similar type of mechanism above the desk - a vertical front cover hinges up and then slides into the cabinet horizontally but I think some of the suggestions here are more practical.
Also, I once mounted two HD cabinet drawer slides on a vertical surface with a single board mounted to them so I could slide out my under cab reverse osmosis filter for service. Bad idea - cabinet slides do not like any force which tries to pull them away from the mounting surface because the smaller slide piece pops out of the larger slide.
